Ultrasonography (US) of the eye is a useful tool in diagnosing conditions of the ocular globe it is characterized by availability, ease, and cheapness. This study aims to study the diabetic eye disease using ocular B-mode ultrasonography. A total of 300 (141 females and 159 males) Sudanese patients with long-duration diabetes mellitus were investigated in the period spanning from 2016 to 2019. Nidek (Echoscan US – 4000) ultrasonic unit with a high-frequency transducer 10 MHz was used to examine patients with clinically suspected eye abnormalities at Makkah Eye Complex, Khartoum, Sudan. A Chi-square test was used to assess the relationship between qualitative variables. In 91% of patients with type II the prevalence of significant types of sonographic findings in diabetic eye disease was as follows, males were more affected p-value (0.01). A Correlation is done between duration of disease and final diagnose, it was found that there was no significant relationship between them p-value (0.452). There was no significant correlation between type 2 and ultrasound findings p-value (0.204), there was a relationship between patient history and final diagnose p-value (0.000), Comparing between controlled and non-controlled DM, there was no significant correlation p-value (0.224), and (77.3%) of patients are treated with insulin. The study concluded that the ocular B-mode ultrasonography is an effective method of diagnosing diabetic eye diseases by detecting a wide range of diabetic eye disorders.
