The primary vision-threatening complication in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) is diabetic macular edema (DME). Diabetic nephropathy (DN) often has DR that threatens their vision and has a risk of developing DME. Hence, the presence of DN could be the only risk factor for developing DME without the presence of other factors. Hence, this study proposes to predict the prevalence of DME using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in type 2 diabetics with nephropathy in comparison with diabetics without nephropathy.
