Abstract
A case of juvenile glaucoma in a 16-year-old diabetic girl led to a survey of intraocular pressures in 38 diabetic children. Seven (18%) were classified as abnormal; 1 because of a positive water drinking test, and 6 because of tension higher than 3 standard deviations above the mean of a nondiabetic control group. Four (11%) were classified as suspects because of tension higher than 2 standard deviations above the control mean. Diabetic children should have repeated eye examinations including accurate measurements of ocular tension.Keywords
