Overview

Ophthalmology diabetic retinopathy refers to the study and clinical management, within ophthalmology, of diabetic retinopathy, a common complication of diabetes that damages the blood vessels of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Persistently high blood-sugar levels weaken and damage these tiny vessels, which can leak fluid or blood, become blocked, or trigger the growth of abnormal new vessels, threatening vision. The condition typically progresses from an earlier non-proliferative stage, marked by microaneurysms, haemorrhages and retinal swelling, to a more advanced proliferative stage in which fragile new vessels form and can cause serious complications such as bleeding into the eye, retinal detachment and, if untreated, blindness. Diabetic macular oedema, swelling of the central retina, is a major cause of vision loss in affected patients. Because early disease often produces no symptoms, regular eye screening of people with diabetes is essential, and treatment options include controlling blood sugar and blood pressure along with laser therapy, injections of medications into the eye, and surgery in advanced cases. Ophthalmic Science, as an OpenAccessPub journal, covers the diagnosis and treatment of retinal and other eye diseases across ophthalmology. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to ophthalmology and diabetic retinopathy.
