Abstract:
The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between risk factors and diabetic retinopathy, which is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries for patients aged 20 to 65. We compared risk factors between patients without retinopathy, with non-proliferate and with proliferate retinopathy (p<0.05). Duration of diabetes is most important for the development of retinopathy. Hyperglycaemia and high blood pressure are important for progression. Better control of blood sugar and elevated blood pressure can reduce progression of retinopathy and risk of vision loss.
