Diabetes mellitus is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide,
with diabetic retinopathy (DR) remaining the most common cause of eye
disease for people with diabetes. Current guidelines state that all
patients with diabetes should be screened for retinal problems.
Diabetic Retinopathy, second edition, offers a practical, clinically
focused guide to DR. Featuring 20 concise chapters this resource covers
the basics of diabetes mellitus and ocular anatomy, why screening is
required, the epidemiology and nature of diabetic retinopathy, as well
as associated ocular diseases. It has been fully updated to include the
latest trial data and newest developments in the management of diabetic
retinopathy, as well as three new chapters covering patients of concern,
imaging techniques in diabetic retinopathy, and an overview of treatment
strategies for diabetic eye disease.
Part of the Oxford Diabetes Library series, this pocketbook is a
concise companion for professionals involved in screening and treating
diabetic retinopathy.
