  • Title: [Diabetic retinopathy; facts and speculations].
    Author: Fankhauser F.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1976 Jul 31; 106(31):1029-34. PubMed ID: 996525.
    Abstract:
    Our knowledge of the etiology of diabetic retinopathy is very limited. Correlation of the time interval between onset of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy as a function of age makes it possible to estimate the degree of resistance of the small vessels to the microangiopathy-inducing agent for the various age groups. Epidemiologic data reveal that, viewed statistically, malignant diabetic retinopathy is relatively rare, and that the life expectancy of blind diabetics is longer than is commonly assumed.
