Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a retinal microvascular complication affecting the retina that compromises visual acuity and can lead to a significant risk of blindness and it results from inadequate and irregular control of diabetes mellitus. Here, we report the case of a 44-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy associated with macular edema. The patient also presents erectile dysfunction as another complication of diabetes mellitus and uses the drug Tadalafil occasionally. We seek to understand. We seek to understand the prognosis of the case described and the importance of adequate ophthalmological monitoring and treatment. PubMed and Scientific Eletronic Library (SciELO) were used as search engines for the selection of articles, using the keywords "Diabetic Retinopathy, Diabetes complications, Diabetes Mellitus, Macular Edema". This article characterizes as an observational, descriptive study which was conducted at a private ophthalmological center located at Ponta Grossa - PR. Data collection involved thorough examination of the patient's medical record, as well as photographic results of imaging exams. Analysis of the case highlighted the need for further research into the outcomes, manifestations, progression and efficacy of treatments for DR. Furthermore, the association with the drug Tadalafil needs more studies and investigation aiming to elucidate the possible consequences with different ocular and vascular disorders.
