- Title
Diabetic Retinopathy in 2011 : Further Insights From New Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials.
- Authors
LAMOUREUX, ECOSSE L.; WONG, TIEN Y.
- Abstract
The authors comment on a study by H. Zavrelova and colleagues which explored the progression and regression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes. They mention the significance of glycemic control in reducing the risk of development and progression of DR in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. They also note how the study authors also confirmed the importance of blood pressure control on the development patterns of DR. They note some clinical trials suggesting the limitation in the effectiveness of blood pressure control in preventing DR.
