Diabetes leads to progressive damage to the retinal blood vessels resulting in diabetic retinopathy that makes nearly 2% of the affected people blind and 10% visually handicapped. A number of multicentric trials including Diabetes Control and Complications Trial and United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study have shown very clearly that a good metabolic control can delay or prevent the occurrence of these complications. A concise and accurate information on all aspects of diabetic retinopathy to initiate the beginners into practicing the management of these patients. The aim of this book is to provide current concepts and a better understanding of diabetic retinopathy.
