Overview

Diabetic eye complications are the ocular disorders that arise from chronic hyperglycaemia in diabetes mellitus, of which diabetic retinopathy is the most important. Sustained high blood glucose damages the small blood vessels of the retina, causing microaneurysms, vascular leakage, and capillary closure; in proliferative disease, retinal ischaemia drives the growth of abnormal new vessels that can bleed or cause tractional retinal detachment. Diabetic macular oedema, in which fluid accumulates in the central retina, is a leading cause of vision loss. Diabetes can also accelerate cataract and contribute to glaucoma, making the eye a major site of diabetic end-organ damage and a frequent cause of preventable blindness in adults. This topic spans the pathophysiology, monitoring, and treatment of diabetic ocular disease. Relevant work examines the efficacy of focal photocoagulation in maintaining or improving visual acuity in eyes with diabetic macular oedema, and network-pharmacology strategies for predicting therapeutic targets in diabetic retinopathy. Related research addresses the broader metabolic context, including non-invasive continuous glucose measurement, the impact of nutrients on diabetes, bioinformatic resources for diabetic complications such as nephropathy, and models of self-management. Because the risk and progression of diabetic eye disease are closely tied to glycaemic control, this topic emphasizes systematic screening, timely retinal treatment, and integrated management of the underlying diabetes.
