Aims and Objectives: To determine the pattern of vitreoretinal diseases in patients attending the retina clinic of Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College, Kangra, Tanda, India. Materials and Methods : A retrospective analysis of the patients attending the retina clinic over a period of one year 2015 to 2016 was carried out from the out patient register.

Results : In our study out of 424 cases, 237 (55.96%) were males and 187 (44.10%) were females. In our first age group less than equal to 40 years, out of 122 patients there were 72 males (59.01%) and 50 (40.98%) females and diabetic retinopathy was the commonest disorder in them followed by retinal detachment. In the second age group more than 40 years there were 302 patients including, 165 (54.63%) males and 137 (45.36%) females.
