Diabetic Retinopathy
 Quality of vision than VA
 Vision impairment than blindness
 Blindness / Vision impairment in working age years
 Large number of person – years of vision loss / case
 More disability during the working years / case
 Large economic costs
 But vision loss is avoidable





(2- 6 lines) due to CSME

Significant morbidity, often

Remember !

Every diabetic is a potential candidate for D.R.

80% of diabetics need only follow up and management of
systemic risk factors

Only 20% need active intervention by Eye Specialists

Symptomless

All diabetics – 45 Million need Fundus exam

Research Studies

Eye Institute, Bethesda, USA has supported various trials
(DRS, ETDRS. DRVS)
•

Laser treatment is beneficial for diabetic retinopathy and
vitreous surgery may be beneficial in some.
Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy
(WESDR), Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT),
and United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS)
•
Intense control of hyperglycemia, control of high blood
pressure and lipid control have positive and beneficial effect
on prevention / postpone / progression of diabetic
retinopathy

Prevention of Complications
Service delivery should address:
• Receive adequate care for DM
• Receive adequate treatment for DR
• Prevent development / Progression of D.R.
• Undergo not only an initial eye exam. But
regular follow ups
• Education and awareness creation
