Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular endothelial growth factor and diabetic complications
TL;DR: Diabetic patients have a higher risk of hypertension and proteinuria, two surrogate markers of systemic VEGF inhibition, and certain intraocular anti-VEGF treatments could have an adverse effect in this population by possibly affecting circulating and organ-specific VEGFs and VEGf receptor levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rates of progression in diabetic retinopathy during different time periods: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Tien Yin Wong,Mkaya Mwamburi,Ronald Klein,Michael Larsen,Harry Flynn,Marisol Hernandez-Medina,Gayatri Ranganathan,Barbara M Wirostko,Andreas M. Pleil,Paul Mitchell +9 more
TL;DR: Since 1985, diabetic patients have lower rates of progression to PDR and SVL, which may reflect an increased awareness of retinopathy risk factors; earlier identification and initiation of care for patients withretinopathy; and improved medical management of glucose, blood pressure, and serum lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of glia, mitochondria, and the immune system in glaucoma.

Journal ArticleDOI
Diabetic macular oedema: physical, physiological and molecular factors contribute to this pathological process.
Rita Ehrlich,Alon Harris,Thomas A. Ciulla,Nisha Kheradiya,Diana M. Winston,Barbara M Wirostko +5 more
TL;DR: By attempting to understand the pathways involved in DMO, the interactions, signalling events and feedback loops between the various molecules are complicated and are not completely understood, this can help guide new treatment options targeted towards specific factors or mediators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrast sensitivity basics and a critique of currently available tests.
TL;DR: The basics of contrast sensitivity are reviewed and the currently available contrast sensitivity tests are described and their reliability, advantages, and disadvantages are compared.
