Diabetes affects around 347 million worldwide, of which 37.7 million cases are present in India. Type 2 diabetes (adult onset) is more associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and is the leading cause of visual

Comparative Study of Orbital Doppler Parameters in Hypertensive Patients With and Without Retinopathy

“…CDI, being an available, noninvasive, safe and rapid tool, has the potential to be used as a prognostic tool to detect "functional" retinoapthy before its clinical appearance. And this conclusion of ours agrees with Prathibha et al, [9] who studied the orbital vessels flow changes in hypertensive and diabetic patients; where they noted significant changes in blood flow velocities and resistance in cases with retinopathy compared to patients with normal fundi. They also recommended that CDI can actually offer prognostic values regarding altered orbital hemodynamics even before retinopathy changes appear.…”
