Diabetic Vitreopathy and Retinopathy Lecture

Diabetic Vitreopathy and Retinopathy Lecture

Topics of Discussion:
Diabetic Eye Disease is the leading cause of blindness in Americans aged 20 – 74 years of age. The metabolic derangements of Diabetes affect the lens, vitreous body, and retinal vasculature resulting in a wide range of effects. If detected early, the damage can be limited and blindness can be averted. In many cases the combination of intravitreal ant-VEGF injections, laser therapy, and vitreous surgery can restore vision loss.
This lecture will review the epidemiology of Diabetic Eye Disease, the molecular and cellular events underlying pathophysiology, how these changes affect vision, and what therapies are available to prevent blindness and restore vision. Key to the success of this endeavor is early detection – that’s where you play a critical role.
