To detect the proportion of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among diabetics visiting a tertiary eye care institute and correlate presenting symptoms to clinical diagnosis. The study recruited 1000 eyes of 1000 diabetics visiting a tertiary eye care institute in South India for the first time. Along with basic demographic data and systemic history, details of presenting complaints and clinical diagnosis were noted. Data from 956 cases were analyzed. There were 29 (3%) newly diagnosed diabetics and 927 (97%) known diabetics. The commonest reason for the hospital visit was diminution of vision (66%) followed by "visiting for a routine checkup" (22.3%). Diabetic retinopathy was seen in 492 (51.5%), cataract in 161(17%) and refractive error in 240 patients (79.2%). Vision-threatening DR was present in 216 cases (22.59%) and clinically significant macular edema in 73 cases (7.63%) at first presentation itself. The cohort from a tertiary eye care institute has higher proportion of diabetic retinopathy, with vision-threatening DR at presentation. These data emphasize the need for more robust screening for DR, along with population awareness programs.

During the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the activity of Emergency Departments worldwide changed dramatically, focusing on diagnosis and care of the Sars-Cov-2 associated disease. These major changes also involved the activity of the Emergency Radiology Department (ERD). This study aimed to analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on imaging studies, both in terms of the amount, frequency and subspecialty of d
