Diabetic Retinopathy: Cause

Description: Diabetes mellitus damages both large and small blood vessels throughout the body. Within the eye, this vascular damage may lead to diabetic retinopathy: the loss of retinal function and subsequent vision loss. This course describes the structures of the eye, how the eye is affected by diabetes-associated hyperglycemia, and the prevalence of retinopathy among diabetic patients.
