Abstract |
Panretinal photocoagulation could prevent most blindness from proliferative disease--if risk is identified early. This makes it essential that primary physicians include annual ophthalmologic evaluation in the management of patients at risk. Meanwhile, studies are under way on promising medical approaches, including intensive insulin regimens, aldose reductase blockers, and angiogenesis inhibitors.
