This study looks at how images and other tests of the eye can help predict diabetic retinopathy, an eye problem caused by diabetes that can lead to vision loss. If you have diabetes, your eye health will be monitored closely. If you do not, you may participate as a healthy comparison.
This study compares two types of diabetes medications (GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors) to see how they affect blood vessels in the back of the eye over time. It may help doctors understand if one drug is better for protecting your eyes.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to look at the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye and compares them between people with diabetes whose blood sugar is well-controlled and those whose is not. The goal is to understand how blood sugar control affects eye health in people with diabetic retinopathy.
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 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.
