Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is a chronic retinal disorder that develops as a complication of diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to identify modifiable risk factors of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 Diabetes mellitus and correlation with severity of diabetic retinopathy. From the present study we conclude that optimized control of risk factors i.e glucose level, hypertension, serum creatinine, affecting onset and/or progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR), through intensive, multidisciplinary, healthcare team-based approach, can markedly reduce impairment of vision due to DR and thereby improving lifestyle and overcoming financial burden of our country.
