Diabetic retinopathy. A clinical and morphological study.
Twenty retinas of diabetic patients and 10 retinas of non-diabetic controls were examined histologically and the findings correlated to clinical conditions. In the whole mounts of retinas the relationship of vascular and nervous changes could easily be followed. The results demonstrate that retinal changes in diabetes are more frequent than would be expected from ophthalmoscopic exploration.
