Summary

The aim of the study is to find out prevalence and individual stages of Diabetic Retinopathy in patients with type 1 and type 2 DM verified based on complex ophthalmologic measurements in Slovak Republic. The outcome of the project will be epidemiology survey, prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME) in relation to type and duration of diabetes mellitus and risk factors. Project will also identify genetic factors linked with the diseases.
