[Clinical observation of macular disease in patients with diabetic retinopathy]

The population was 65 cases (122 eyes) of diabetic macular disease. Background diabetic retinopathy was observed in 40 eyes, i.e., 32.80%. For the 82 eyes present proliferative diabetic retinopathy, i.e., 67.20%. According to Sigelmen's classification, 17 eyes were in stage I, i.e., 13.93% of the cases; 41 eyes were in stage II, i.e., 33.60% of the cases; 40 eyes were in stage III, i.e., 32.80% of the cases; 24 eyes were in stage IV, i.e., 19.67% of the cases. There were 122 eyes in this group. The visual acuity of 66 eyes showed > or = 0.3, i.e., 54.00%, while that of 56 eyes showed 40.3 i.e. 46.00%. Nearly half patients showed low visual acuity and loss of vision. This result was responsible for the cases who were at the late stage of diabetic and with a long history of diabetic or the diabetic was poorly controlled. So the writer appeal to ophthalmologists and physicians to prescribe the effective guides to all the diabetic patients. We suggest that it is important that dynamic observation be carried out of hemorhelological manifestation and early treatment diabetic retinopathy for the clinical prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
