520 | |a <p>Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of blindness in the United States. With rise of the epidemic of obesity and diabetes in the USA and around the globe, serious and common diabetic complications are</p><p>evolving as a major public health problem, particularly among minority populations. These populations</p><p>are disproportionately affected by diabetes and 2-3 times more likely to develop visually signifi cant</p><p>complications. In this highly illustrated review article, we discuss the diabetic epidemic, highlighting</p><p>the biology and the pathophysiologic mechanisms of this disorder on the anatomy of the eye. We also</p><p>discuss the risk factors and the implications for minority populations. For the health care providers, we</p><p>provide cutting edge information and imminently relevant information to help evaluate, manage, and know</p><p>when to refer their patients to a specialist in ophthalmology to quell the tide of the epidemic.</p><p>Pubmed link: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29756128">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29756128</a> </p> | ||
