Background:The study was conducted to assess the Awareness of eye complications and prevalence of retinopathy in the first visit to eye clinic among type 2 diabetic patients. Material and methods:This study comprised of 100 subjects. Basic demographic information about the patients' age, gender, race, degree of education, and employment was recorded after the patients gave their informed written consent. The type, duration, medication, blood glucose stability, and most recent HbA1c were all taken from the patient's medical records. Any other medical history, such as the existence of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, or ischemic heart disease, was also recorded. A 3-month period with HbA1c readings less than 6.5% was considered good blood sugar control. The participants were then required to complete an 11-point survey before to their initial eye exam at the eye clinic. Specific questions about awareness and knowledge of diabetic sequelae, including retinopathy, eye screening, and proper care-seeking behavior for eyes were included in the questionnaire. After a thorough review of the literature for prior reports of knowledge and awareness of diabetic retinopathy for a study population, guidelines for the creation of the questionnaire were found. Each patient had their visual acuity measured using a Snellen chart following the completion of the questionnaire. In the eye clinic, each patient had a thorough fundus examination from the attending ophthalmologist utilizing a slitlamp biomicroscope. Everybody had their fundus photographed, and the presence or absence of diabetic retinopathy was noted. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software.
