TLDR
This population-based study among Malays showed that diabetes and hyperglycemia are associated with thicker central corneas, independent of age and IOP levels, which may have implications for understanding the relationship between diabetes and glaucoma.About:

Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Ning Cheung,Wan Ting Tay,Jie Jin Wang,Jie Jin Wang,Tin Aung,Seang-Mei Saw,Su Chi Lim,E. Shyong Tai,Paul Mitchell +10 more
TL;DR: Risk factors for retinopathy in this population of Malay adults with diabetes in Singapore are largely similar to white populations elsewhere, suggesting that control of these risk factors may reduce both the prevalence and impact ofretinopathy.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis on >20,000 individuals in European and Asian populations that identified 16 new loci associated with CCT at genome-wide significance showed that 2 CCT-associated loci conferred relatively large risks for keratoconus in 2 cohorts with 874 cases and 6,085 controls.

TL;DR: The prevalence of glaucoma among Malay persons 40 years of age and older in Singapore is 3.4%, comparable to ethnic Chinese people in Singapore and other racial/ethnic groups in Asia.

TL;DR: The prevalence of myopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia was lower, whereas the prevalence of hyperopia was similar, compared with previous reports of similarly aged Singapore Chinese adults.

TL;DR: Baseline age, vertical and horizontal cup-disc ratio, pattern standard deviation, and intraocular pressure were good predictors for the onset of POAG in the OHTS and central corneal thickness was found to be a powerful predictor for the development ofPOAG.

TL;DR: The results indicate that whereas myopia is 1.5 to 2.5 times more prevalent in adult Chinese residing in Singapore than in similarly aged European-derived populations in the United States and Australia, the sociodemographic associations are similar.

TL;DR: Data from this study allow further understanding of the etiology and impact of eye diseases in this ethnic group and provide population-based data on the prevalence of and risk factors for age-related eye disease in people of Malay ethnicity in Singapore.

Open-angle glaucoma and diabetes: the Blue Mountains eye study, Australia.
TL;DR: The significant and consistent association between diabetes and glaucoma found in this study, which appeared independent of the effect of diabetes on IOP, suggests that there is a real association between these two diseases.
