New Insight into How Diabetes Leads to Blindness
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision impairment and
blindness. Retinopathy is caused by high blood glucose levels
that lead to the abnormal development of tiny blood vessels in the
eye. A number of landmark studies have demonstrated that intensive glycemic
control reduces the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy.
However, exactly how high blood glucose levels disrupt blood vessel
development in the eye is not completely understood.
