| Core Tip |
The independent contributions of diabetes mellitus and atrial fibrillation (AF) to the prevalence of visual impairments have not been evaluated. AF is relatively common in diabetic patients and should be regarded as a marker of adverse outcomes for cardiovascular diseases in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, we explored whether an association between T2DM with incident AF and visual impairment exists, and if so, the prevalence and magnitude of this association. We found a nearly three-fold higher prevalence of severe visual impairment in T2DM patients with incident AF compared to those without AF [OR of 3.89 (95%CI: 1.17-13.38)]. It may be useful to increase screening for visual impairments in T2DM patients with incident AF. The results of our study could encourage public health initiatives for the prevention of vision impairment by early eye screening in these high-risk individuals. |
