RESUMENObjetivo: La diabetes mellitus está considerada como la causa más frecuente de ceguera en la población activa en los países industrializados, siendo el edema macular diabético la causa más frecuente de disminución de la agudeza visual y la retinopatía diabética proliferante la responsable de los déficit visuales más severos. Por ello hemos intentado establecer una guía de actuación clínica cuyo propósito es proporcionar unas directrices que sirvan de orientación para el tratamiento de la reti-
ABSTRACTObjective: Diabetes mellitus is considered the most common cause of blindness in the working population of industrialized countries, with diabetic macular edema being the most common cause of decreased visual acuity and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) being responsible for the most severe visual deficits. We have therefore tried to establish a guide for clinical intervention whose purpose is to provide orientation on the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and its complications.
