Visual dysfunction manifests early in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, research shows, with functional impairment detected in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy lacking clinical signs and symptoms of diabetic macular oedema.
Researcher Giuseppe Querques (University Vita Salute San Raffaele, Milan, Italy) and team used spectral domain optical coherence tomography and microperimetry to evaluate central foveal thickness (CFT) and retinal sensitivity, respectively, in 36 eyes from the same number of patients with Type 1 (n=17) or Type 2 diabetes (n=19). The average age of patients in the former group was 36.0 years and that of the latter was 63.9 years.
