Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness. It has long been regarded as
vascular disease, but work in the past years has shown abnormalities also in the neural …

Electroretinography (ERG) is an objective method of evaluating retinal function. Since its
introduction to clinical practice in the 1940s, it has become a useful and routine diagnostic …

Objectives To measure the extent of choriocapillaris degeneration (CCD) in diabetic
choroids and to study the association of CCD with choroidal neovascularization and …

The complex pathology of diabetic retinopathy (DR) affects both vascular and neural tissue.
The characteristics of neurodegeneration are well-described in animal models but have …

Diabetes is known to cause significant alterations in the retinal vasculature. Indeed, diabetic
retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in those of working age. Considerable …

The electroretinogram (ERG) is a noninvasive, objective technique to evaluate retinal
function that has become increasingly important in the study of diabetic retinopathy. We …

Although photoreceptors account for most of the mass and metabolic activity of the retina,
their role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy has been largely overlooked. Recent …
