ABSTRACT
We present the case of a 64 year old patient with one year history of progressive vision loss and medical history of
diabetes mellitus type 2 and hypertension, both with irregular control; who is diagnosed with severe non-proliferative
diabetic retinopathy and bilateral moderate to severe macular edema. The diagnostic methods used, treatment, clinical
course and outcome are exposed, as well as a review of the literature directed mainly at primary care physicians,
emphasizing the importance of early screening for this disease.
