Abstract | Diabetic retinopathy is most frequent complication of diabetes mellitus and is one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness in working age population. Treatment modalities exist that can prevent or delay the onset of diabetic retinopathy, as well as loss of vision, in a large proportion of patients with diabetes.

Guidelines for frequency of eye examinations and option of treatment are based on the severity of the retinopathy.Timely intervention can help to prevent blindness in more than 90 % of those at risk. | |
