Subjects and methods: The study was conducted in the internal medicine department and and Ophthalmic Clinics at Sohag University Hospital. A Purposive sample of 60 adult patients with Non-insulin Dependent Diabetes mellitus from both males and females aged between (40-60) years old were included in this study. Tools of the study; Tool (1) Patient health assessment sheet and Tool (2): Patient’s interview questionnaire. Tool (3): The BASNEF Model Interview questionnaire Tool (4): Patient’s Health practices observational checklists. Results: The findings revealed that the half of both study and control group were female, married and less than half of them were illiterate.

The mean of blood sugar level (AIc) in study group (pretest) is 6.23±.77, (posttest) is 5.50±.84, while in control group the mean of blood sugar level (pretest) is 5.29±.72, (posttest) is 5.52±.75 and there was statistical significant difference between study and control group pre and post BASNEF model educational program implementation. Conclusion: Based on findings of the present study, it can be concluded that the educational BASNEF model is effective in regard to eye care for diabetic patients and is recommended to use this model in educating patients for preventing ocular complications in non-insulin dependent diabetic patients.
