Abstract
This retrospective study investigates the demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and treatment patterns of diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients at Sri Lakshmi Narayana Medical Institute of Sciences between 2017 and 2019. A total of 23,319 patients were included, with a slightly higher proportion of females (53.88%) compared to males (46.12%). The study examined the distribution of non-vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (non-VTDR) and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR) cases, as well as the types of treatments administered. The prevalence of VTDR cases increased over the study period, while non-VTDR cases declined. Among VTDR patients, pars planavitrectomy (PPV) was the most commonly used treatment, followed by pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) and anti-VEGF injections. Notably, the use of PRP decreased over time, while the uptake of PPV increased. These trends highlight the growing burden of VTDR and the evolving landscape of DR treatment, emphasizing the need for early detection, effective screening, and tailored treatment strategies to preserve vision. The findings provide insights into current DR management practices and underscore the importance of ongoing efforts to improve patient outcomes
