Diabetic retinopathy: A right time to intervene

Ironically, after a decade of social, economic, and health progress that had almost eliminated many of the dreadful communicable diseases from most parts of India, one of the greatest threats to health at present is type 2 diabetes.[1] The number of people with diabetes in India is growing rapidly. As per reports, in 2013, there were about 65 million people with diabetes in India and by 2035, it is likely to reach about 109 million.[2-5] According to International Diabetes Federation, nearly half of the people with diabetes in the world live in just three countries, namely, India, China, and the US.[6]
