This study looks at early damage to the retina (the back of the eye) in people with type 2 diabetes, even before vision problems start. It aims to find new ways to detect and treat diabetic eye disease early.
This study looks for biomarkers in eye fluid and images to predict how diabetic retinopathy progresses. It compares people with diabetes at different stages, healthy controls, and people with a non-diabetic eye condition called epiretinal membrane.
This trial is looking at whether newer diabetes drugs (like SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors) can help protect the eyes of people with long-standing type 2 diabetes. The study focuses on preventing or slowing diabetic retinopathy, a common eye complication.
This study tests a new way to combine diabetes care with eye care for people with diabetes in Bangladesh. If you have diabetes and a diabetes-related eye condition, this might help improve your care.
This study looks at how blood sugar control (measured by HbA1c) relates to tiny blood vessel changes in the back of the eye in people with diabetes. It uses a special camera (OCTA) to take detailed pictures of the retina without needing a dye injection.
This study follows people with type 2 diabetes to understand how diabetic retinopathy (an eye disease caused by diabetes) changes over time without treatment. It may help if you have no other eye issues causing new blood vessels and are not planning for certain eye procedures.
