The eyes of 658 patients attending a district general hospital diabetic clinic were examined for retinopathy requiring treatment by photocoagulation or vitreoretinal surgery. Although the majority of patients with serious retinopathy were already under ophthalmic supervision, 39 cases (52 eyes) were found which required treatment.

OBJECTIVE To identify the reasons for low adherence among patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in southern China using a qualitative method. METHODS Exploratory indepth interviews were conducted in 27 diabetic patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy who required vitrectomy surgery at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Centre, Sun Yat-sen University, from March to August 2015. Qualitative data a...

Vitreous hemorrhages are important clinical manifestations of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Non-cleared vitreous hemorrhages could lead to hemosiderosis bulbi and glaucoma. Here, we describe the case of a type 2 diabetic patient presenting anterior segment and vitreous hemorrhages that resolved three days after treatment with a single intravitreal injection of dobesilate.

Inclusion of Prameha among the eight major disorders in Charaka Samhita shows the importance of the disease given by ancient seers. The risk of development of blindness in diabetics increases by 20-25 times as compared to the normal population. High prevalence rate of Diabetic Retinopathy (34.6%), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (7%), diabetic macular edema (6.8%), and Vision threatening Dia...

In a five year prospective study clinical features associated with the development and progress of retinopathy were sought in 296 randomly selected diabetic men aged 20-59. None had ophthalmoscopically detectable retinopathy initially, but during follow up 66 developed the condition (47 background, 10 exudative, 9 proliferative). Linear logistic analyses (two tailed tests) showed that the initi...

Generally, there is a delay of 4 to 7 years in the diagnosis type 2 diabetes and about 20% patients would have already developed some micro vascular complications at time diagnosis. To study central corneal thickness (CCT) variation correlate with grades diabetic retinopathy an adult South Indian population. The was conducted on 184 eyes each T2DM duration more than 5 years. 98 males (53.26%) &...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an eye fixed ill complete by the impairment of polygenic disorder and that we purchased to acknowledge it before of calendar for sensible treatment. As polygenic disorder advances, the vision of a patient might begin to interrupt down and incite diabetic retinopathy. on these lines, 2 social occasions were perceived, specifically non-proliferative diabetic retinopat...
