Abstract:
Nowadays, the aging population has posed a big threat to China. As more and more aged people suffer from diabetes mellitus, diabetic eye disease has become one of the major causes of vision loss in the elderly. However, the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and diabetic macular edema (DME) remain unclear. Many of the patients lose their best opportunities to receive treatment and end up with blindness because of the shortage of basic knowledge and recognition. These all call for the early diagnosis and effective treatment of diabetic eye
disease. This paper overviewed recent progresses in diagnostic methods for diabetic retinopathy (DR) and made a brief comment on the latest treatment.
