Setting and Design: This was a cross-sectional study carried out at an outpatient clinic located in the ophthalmology department of a hospital. Materials and Methods: A pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire administered by an interviewer was used to assess awareness of diabetic retinopathy during the period of January 2023 to July 2023.
