Diabetic retinopathy is a chronic retinal disorder that develops as a complication of diabetes mellitus.

From the present study we conclude that optimized control of risk factors i.e glucose level, hypertension, serum creatinine, affecting onset and/or progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR), through intensive, multidisciplinary, healthcare team-based approach, can markedly reduce impairment of vision due to DR and thereby improving lifestyle and overcoming financial burden of our country.
