ABSTRACT
The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was assessed by direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy in a group of patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Fourteen percent of patients had retinopathy. Proliferative retinopathy and severe background retinopathy including maculopathy were both seen in four percent of patients. It is possible that the lower prevalence rates for these complications is due to the shorter duration of diabetes in our patients.
