The association of the awareness and knowledge of diabetic retinopathy with the age and residential area were investigated among selected Selangor populations. A cross sectional study was conducted using open-ended questions. Only half of the selected population was aware and had knowledge of diabetic retinopathy. The awareness was significantly associated with the age among urban and rural residential population but not with residential area. Health education programs could be suggested to increase the awareness of diabetic retinopathy among the population. By having awareness and knowledge, early complications of the diabetic can be detected and prevention can be secured, thus, improved one’s quality of life.

Objective To compare the completeness and quality of information about diabetic retinopathy on Wikipedia in the world’s leading spoken languages in 2020. Design and methods An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. The information on diabetic retinopathy obtained from the free encyclopedia Wikipedia® was assessed in languages with one hundred million or more total speakers. The term "diabetic retinopathy" was accessed in the corresponding Wikipedia entry in English, while the "more languages" function gives access to other languages. The information on the sites was collected by three ophthalmologist observers. A database was created with the most important subtopics for the education of patients with diabetic retinopathy in any of its classifications, based on a 25-question survey. The results were stratified on a scale from 0 to 4. A confirming correlation was found in the statistical analysis among the observers. Results No language achieved the label “excellent”; 2 languages were rated as “fair “; 4 languages qualified as “substandard”; and 7 languages were scored as “poor.” No information could be found in five languages. Conclusions As would be expected, the quality of content is variable across different languages. However, if anyone can edit Wikipedia, health professionals can do so as well to improve the quality and quantity of information for patients.
