Abstract :

 To screen diabetic retinopathy in people with diagnosed diabetes mellitus attending our hospital . 500 patients were screened, most of the patients were having non proliferative diabetic retinopathy and were not aware of there disease and its consequences. Some of the cases were suffering from proliferative diabetic retinopathy and were undiagnosed before. Proper counsellings were done and patients were regularly screened according to there severity and were even reffered for further management. Mean age of patients with DR was 65 years. Mean onset of diabetes was 18 years. An insulin therapy was found in 27 patients (46.6%). Haemoglobin A1c was known in 26 patients (44.8%) with a mean value of 8.14%. Nearly 60% of patients with DR did not have their recommended annual consultation. Our analysis supports the extension of the screening interval for people with diabetes mellitus beyond the currently recommended 12 months. Screening DR with a fundus camera can improve the follow–up of diabetics in rural areas
