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.
