Abstract
A clinical study of diabetic retinopathy was conducted from March- May 2002 to diagnose a patient’sdiabetic retinopathy level and identify eyes of proliferative diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy so thatthese patients could get appropriate and timely laser photocoagulation surgery and other surgical modalitiesto reduce the risk of visual loss. This study shows that out of 248 diabetic patients examined, 45.9% patientshad retinal changes. The potential candidates for panretinal and focal laser treatment were the patientswith very severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) (3.5%), early proliferative diabeticretinopathy (PDR) or high-risk PDR (3.5%), and maculopathy (8.8%).Key Words: Diabetic retinopathy, Laser photocoagulation surgery and vitrectomy Surgery.
