The prevalence of diabetes is on the rise globally as are the consequences, such as diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults in developed countries. Visual impairment as a result of diabetic retinopathy has a significant negative impact on the patient's quality of life and their ability to successfully manage their disease. Glycemic control, blood pressure normalization, and lipid management form the basis for long-term diabetes management and protection from worsening eye disease.
