Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of Diabetic retinopathy is to determine the risk factors associated with it, stage of retinopathy diagnosed at presentation, management of it and final visual outcome. The prevention is by strict glycemic control, prompt use of antidiabetic drugs and regular exercises. The role of Laser Photocoagulation in Proliferative Retinopathy is high. With effective management strategies, visual loss due to the disease can be controlled and further dissemination of the disease could be prevented.
