Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy remains the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults in the United States. Vision loss occurs because diabetes damages the retinal vessels. Currentl, retinal laser treatment and anti-VEGF injection therapy are availalbe to reduce vision loss from bleeding and retinal swelling associted with diabetic retinopathy. However, no treatment reverses the retinal vascular damage associated with diabetic retinopathy.
