As studies show that four out of every six adults living with diabetes in the Middle East and North Africa still not echocardiographic, the greater the duration of being diabetic, the risk of greater visual problems.
Number of people living in the UAE
Prevalence of retinopathy caused by diabetes in the U.A.E. State about 19% of the population.

And diabetic macular edema known as an accumulation of fluid in the area of the retina called retinal spot. The patch is important for clear and correct vision used this spot to read and recognition and leadership. As diabetic macular edema is classified as the most common cause of vision loss among people who suffer from retinopathy caused by diabetes.
And about half the patients with retinopathy caused by diabetes diabetic macular edema. Although this case is likely to accompany the exacerbation of retinopathy, however, they may infect patients in any stage of diabetes.
It can help diagnose eye problems at an early stage in preventing disease progression in a serious way. With high rates of non-diabetes cases diagnosed among the population, experts strongly recommend that urgent efforts to improve health awareness of diabetic patients about serious complications, including diabetic macular edema.
