    Abstract

    Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with metabolic disorders in various organs, including intraocular tissues. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a common ocular complication in diabetic patients, affecting 80-85% of individuals with Type I and Type II DM. The severity of hyperglycemia and duration of diabetes are considered key risk factors for developing DR. DR leads to various complications, including diabetic macular edema, vitreous hemorrhage, and retinal detachment. Despite extensive research, the role of hemodynamics in DR remains unclear, with conflicting data from different studies. This study aims to assess the Resistive Index (RI) in the Ophthalmic artery (OA), Central retinal artery (CRA), and Short posterior ciliary artery (SPCA) in patients with and without Diabetic Retinopathy using Color Doppler imaging (CDI).
