Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is a disorder which generally affects the retina and disturbs the microvasculature of it and is the most dreaded complication of diabetes. This study included 50 patients with diabetic retinopathy, out of which 4% of patients infected with Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), 48% with mild and 20% with very high NPDR. 8% of cases had very severe NPDR while the rest 20% had PDR. Our results which showed a higher prevalence of CSME in patients with HBA 1c of 8. 7 % and above. From the finding the elevated lipid levels in serum are associated with high risk of CSME and retinal hard exudates.

Eye, an organ of vision and light perception, converts visible light into electro-chemical impulses to be handled by the brain
Based on ETDRS criteria, patients were graded according to the severity of the diabetic retinopathy
Those with suspected CSME were confirmed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Summary
An organ of vision and light perception, converts visible light into electro-chemical impulses to be handled by the brain. It functions like a camera with iris acting like a board up, regulating the amount of light received by the eye and variable focussing & accommodation. The received light is focused by the lens through retina it passes through the optic nerve. The brain after receiving this information it process into an image which is understandable. The retina which is majorly involved in this process is affected in some diseased condition like DM and even causes blindness across the world [1,2,3,4,5].
