Total of 150 patients were included in the study for duration of 28 months. Detail history including hypertension and other systemic illness was asked. Best corrected visual acuity was taken after refraction. Anterior segment examination was done with slit lamp, specially looking for rubeosis iridis, pupillary reaction and type of lens opacity. Statistical analysis was done using Z test, unpaired T test and chi-square test with the help of software and methods. Result: Patients with type 2, diabetes have more incidence of developing diabetic retinopathy thanpatients with type 1. Hypertension was more commonly associated disease than other systemic illness. Diabetic retinopathy is more prevalent in patients with higher FBS and HB1Ac.Conclusion:The frequency of retinopathy is more common in patients with high blood sugar profile.
