Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the diabetic retinopathy and its
relation to various risk factors in type 2 diabetic patients.
Study design: Cross sectional hospital based study.
Methods: Out of 165 patients, 154 patients were included in the study. All the
patients underwent clinical examination along with detailed dilated funduscopy
for retinopathy by +70D non contact lens and biochemical examinations
including HbA1c and lipid profile.
Results: The study population was 154 [M: F=85:69; Mean age 56.2 ± 10.3
years]. 48 patients [31.2%] had evidence of retinopathy with 42 [87.5%] had
non proliferative diabetic retinopathy and 6 had [12.5%] proliferative diabetic
retinopathy.36 patients [75%] had diabetic maculopathy (n=48). 66.6% of
patients who had diabetic retinopathy with more than 10 years duration of
diabetes. Increased glycosylated haemoglobin level, presence of hypertension
and hyperlipidemia were risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (p
