Diabetic Mellitus Retinopathy (DMR) is Hong Kong’s second leading cause of blindness. There are about 200 cases of blindness caused by DMR each year.

DMR is often associated with the cause of other ocular diseases such as cataract, retinal detachment, macular edema, vitreous hemorrhage and secondary glaucoma, so we should pay special attention to it.
DMR in the early stage has no obvious symptoms, hence diabetic patients are recommended to have eye examination at least once a year, in order to avoid any diabetes-induced eye diseases.
