Abstract :
Background:
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR) is a microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus that is associated with severe vision loss.
The purpose of this study was to determine if there are any risk factors that are pertinent to the progression of PDR after photocoagulation
Methods:
This study involved 72 eyes diagnosed with PDR. All eyes underwent argon laser panretinal photocoagulation(PRP) over one month. They were followed up for six months during which the severity of PDR and its complications were assessed.
Results
Out of the 7 eyes, five eyes(6.9%) exhibited signs of progression after PRP and sixty seven eyes(93.1%) showed regression or stabilized.
Among the eyes that showed progression, 2.2% were on oral hypoglycaemic agents (OHAs), 10.5% were on insulin and 17.6% were on both medications.
Conclusion:
We have determined that patients on OHAs or on both medications were associated with higher risk of progression of PDR.
