Abstract
Background and Aim: Diabetic Retinopathy is the dreadful micro vascular complication of diabetes which leads to blindness or loss of eye. It has become the major health problem worldwide. However, this morbidity is largely preventable and treatable. Despite new treating therapies and management strategies, there is no curb on the progression and development of this disease. This study was aimed to assess the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy among the diabetic patients visited in the Gomabai Eye Hospital in the Neemuch District, Madhya Pradesh. Methodology: 446 selected patients were included. At the time of screening, informed consent was taken and age, gender and duration of diabetes was noted in designed questionnaire. Patients were evaluated for Diabetic retinopathy by Fundus examination. Findings were recorded and retinopathy was classified according to ETDRS Classification Results: In the present study, prevalence of Diabetic retinopathy was found 28.4%. Out of 446 patients, 232 were males and 214 were females. 69.06 % patients were found affected with NPDR and 18.60 % with PDR. Significant association was found between age, duration and diabetic retinopathy. Conclusion: Regular screening and awareness camps to detect diabetic retinopathy at early stage are necessary to understand the associated risk factors, so that proper management and treatment can be extended to the affected to prevent most of the diabetes related blindness.
