Abstract:
Owing to the global epidemic of obesity, the incidence of diabetes and its complications are rapidly increasing around the world. Yet, visual impairment caused by diabetic retinopathy is paradoxically on the decline. This improvement is due to better understanding of etiologic mechanisms, increased screening, and advent of newer therapies. Here, we discuss salient developments in the comprehension of the root causes of diabetic retinopathy and the molecular mechanisms underlying current treatment approaches.
