  1. DIABETES AND THE EYE

  2. EPIDEMIOLOGY • Commonest cause of blindness in the population of working age in developed countries • Prevalence of DR of any severity in the diabetic population is 30% and prevalence of blindness due to DR is approximately 5%

  3. PATHOGENESIS

  4. RISK FACTORS • Duration of DM • Control of DM. Will not prevent but delays • Hypertension • Renal Disease • Pregnancy • Obesity, hyperlipidaemia, smoking, anaemia

  5. CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY • Background • Pre-proliferative • Proliferative • End-stage diabetic eye disease

  6. Background Microaneurism Exudate Blot haemorrhage

  7. Diabetic maculopathy Hard exudate

  8. Pre-proliferative CWS Haemorrhage Vascular tortuosity Microaneurism

  9. Proliferative retinopathy NVD NVE Pre-retinal haemorrhage Laser burn scars

  10. Advanced diabetic eye disease Preretinal fibrosis and tractional retinal detachment Rubeosis iridis

  11. End-stage diabetic eye disease • PHTHISIS Shrunken, soft eye with opaque vascularised cornea and no visual potential

  12. TREATMENT • LASER: Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation • Focal • Grid • Panretinal photocoagulation

  13. SCREENING • No retinopathy or BDR with normal vision • See yearly, or sooner if vision deteriorates • Refer to ophthalmologist • BDR with macular changes • BDR with decrease in vision • Pre-proliferative retinopathy • Proliferative retinopathy
