  • Title: [The influence of refraction on diabetic retinopathy (author's transl)].
    Author: Hövener G.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1975 Nov; 167(5):733-6. PubMed ID: 1206956.
    Abstract:
    Two groups of patients with diabetic retinopathy were tested by refraction. Patients with advanced retinopathy and those with early diabetic retinopathy had about the same propor-tion of refractive errors as the normal population. The only important difference was seen in middle- and high myopic eyes, which occurred less frequently when diabetic retinopathy was present. Illustrated from 4 cases of high myopia the inhibitory influence of diabetic retinopathy on the formation of shortsightedness is shown. Possible causes for this are discussed.
