Diabetes Mellitus and the Eye

Neovascular Glaucoma: An Update

“…In the US, the estimated prevalence of NVI is approximately 17 500 cases, with NVI being more common in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) [12]. The incidence of NVI in diabetics varies from 1 to 17 % [13,14], and more than 20 % of patients with PDR may present with NVG [15]. In diabetics with unilateral NVG, the risk of developing NVG in the fellow eye has been estimated to be approximately 33 % [16].…”

Sekundärglaukome im Rahmen retinaler Erkrankungen

“…In der Literatur wird unter Patienten mit Diabetes mellitus eine Prävalenz der Rubeosis iridis (RI) von 1 – 17% angegeben 9 , 10 . Bei Vorliegen von proliferativen Netzhautveränderungen wurde eine RI in bis zu 65% der Fälle beschrieben.…”

Neovascular Glaucoma

“…The overall prevalence of NV of the iris (NVI) in diabetic patients in the US is approximately 17,500 cases, with NVI occurring most often in the setting of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) [8]. The incidence of NVI among diabetic patients ranges from 1 to 17% [9, 10]. An incidence of NVI up to 65% has been reported in patients with PDR [11].…”
