Based on the research subject can be obtained data shown in tabulation form. On the subject of research done a sharp examination of vision, examination degree of Diabetic Retinopathy with Indirect Funduscopy Tool and accompanied by supervision of Vitreo Retina Results Patients with NPDR with normal sd LDL are 24 (85.7 %) and high 4 (14.3 %), while patients PDR with normal sdLDL are (85, 7 %) and High is 1 (14, 3 %) Conclusions that there is no relationship between normal or high levels of Small Dense LDL with Diabetic Retinopathy
