    Smoking significantly increases the risk of ischemic diabetic maculopathy in diabetic patients. However, this increased incidence did not notably impact visual acuity in smokers compared to non-smokers.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Diabetology
    • Medical Research

    Background:

    • Diabetic maculopathy is a leading cause of vision loss in diabetic patients.
    • Smoking is a known risk factor for various vascular complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between smoking and the incidence of ischemic diabetic maculopathy.
    • To compare the prevalence of ischemic maculopathy in diabetic smokers versus non-smokers.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 200 diabetic patients with diabetic maculopathy.
    • Comparison of a cohort of 27 diabetic smokers (23 with type II diabetes) against 23 non-smoking diabetic controls.

    Main Results:

    • Diabetic smokers exhibited a significantly higher incidence of the ischemic type of diabetic maculopathy.

  • No significant difference in visual acuity was observed between smokers and non-smokers with diabetic maculopathy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Smoking is a significant risk factor for developing the ischemic form of diabetic maculopathy.
    • While smoking elevates the risk of ischemic maculopathy, its impact on visual acuity in this context requires further investigation.
