Patients have different types of systemic illness like hypertension, connective tissue disorder are excluded for this study. Results: In all groups patients pre treatment level of visual acuity checked. After one month followup few patients decrease their visual acuity and it was due to inflammatory edema caused by laser. After that almost all patients maintained their pre treatment level of visual acuity level.one patient suffer from vitreous haemorrhage and it is most likely due to poor metabolic control. Conclusion: Timely PRP save the vision of patients and prevent it's complications. It also save the patients from permanent Blindness.
