Abstract
Background: The aim of current study was exploring the ocular abnormalities in individuals with Type 1 & 2 diabetes. Methods: Patients referred for diabetic ocular abnormalities (retinopathy, cataract, glaucoma and refractive error) on fundoscopy from LRBT eye hospital Korangi, Karachi were randomly included in the study. Retinopathy, cataract and refractive error were evaluated by slit lamp biomicroscope or indirect ophthalmoscope, & categorized into lacking, non-proliferative, proliferative retinopathy, maculopathy, capsular or sub capsular cataract, myopia and hypermetropia. While glaucoma was assessed by tonometry. Prevalence of eye complication has been seen in subjects. Outcome of substantial risk factors on the diverse phases of retinopathy, multivariate regression analysis was performed. Results: 200 diabetic subjects (106 males and 94 females) when the compared; diabetic subjects and subjects with hypertension; 28.0 % retinopathy, 9.75 % cataract, 7.31 % with glaucoma, and about 2.43% refractive error were found out among the diabetic males. 47.61 % retinopathy, 11.9% Cataract, 40.47% refractive error were found in females. In males with diabetes and hypertension were found 60.46 % retinopathy, 27.9 5% cataract, 11.62 % refractive error & in females 46.15% retinopathy, 19.23 % cataract, and 34.61 % with refractive error. Conclusions: This current study emphasizes screening of diabetic subjects regularly so as to distinguish ocular abnormalities and increasing public awareness.

Summary
Pakistan is a country in South Asia with an area of 796,095 square kilometers and a population of 207.7 million. [1] In terms of population, Pakistan is the sixth most populous country and the 36th largest by geography in the world. Several studies have previously shown a link between diabetes and cataracts, glaucoma and age related macular degeneration (AMD), few people have thought about the visual issues that come with changes in refractive error, contrast sensitivity, stray light and presbyopia. These ‘non-retinal’ vision abnormalities could be a symptom of severe hyperglycemia, especially when diabetes is diagnosed. Indirect ophthalmoscopy generates reversed direct picture magnification two to five times and direct ophthalmoscopy generates an erect, or unreversed, picture of around magnification fifteen times It perceives & assess retinal detachment or illnesses symptoms like swollen optic discs, glaucoma or papilledema, on ophthalmoscopy are critical indicator in patients with headaches, as this implies elevated intracranial pressure, which can cause hydrocephalus, benign intracranial hypertension, or a brain tumor, among other disorders. Demographic parameters were depicted for graphical representation using MS Office & SPSS version 16.0
