Dr. Farhana Zafar*, Dr. Aneela Amber, Dr. Taimoor Ashraf

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To determine the frequency of diabetic retinopathy in newly diagnosed type II diabetes patients. Settings: Sheikh Zayed Hospital Rahim Yar Khan. Materials and Methods: Total 113 cases of newly diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus patients with age range from 30-60 years were selected. Patients with type I diabetes, hypertension and h/o previous retinal surgery were excluded. All patients were then undergone fundoscopy and presence or absence of retinopathy and grades of retinopathy were noted. Results: Mean age of patients was 45.46 ± 7.40 years. Out of these 113 patients, 69 (61.06%) were male and 44 (38.94%) were females with male to female ratio of 1.6:1. Results have shown retinopathy present in 18 (15.93%) while 95 (84.07%) patients have shown no retinopathy. Conclusion: This study concluded that the frequency of diabetic retinopathy in newly diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus is 15.93% which is relatively high and emphasizes the detailed ophthalmic examination of each patient at the time of diagnosis of diabetes.
