Material and Methods: present cross-sectional research was performed in the Department of Ophthalmology for the period of one year. Overall 800 patients with type 2 DM present at outpatient Department of Ophthalmology were incorporated in the research. Visual acuity was assessed by Snellen chart. Qualitative analysis was compared with Chi square test ad quantitative analysis was compared with student‘t’ test. p <0.05 was considered statistically significant

Results: Overall 800 patients with DM were included in the study, out of this 18.1% had DR, in which males were more exaggerated (54.4%) than females (45.8%). Among 145 patients with DR, 121 had NPDR, showed 50.3% mild, 36.7% moderate and 4.9% severe NPDR, while 8.1% patients had PDR. Thirty three per cent were establish to be have DR over 80 years of age, trailed by 22% in the age group of 70-79 years.
