[Epidemiology, clinical aspects and follow-up of diabetic retinopathy in type II diabetes mellitus].
In 960 30- to 50-year-old patients with purely dietetically manageable, newly detected Type II diabetes, the fundus of the eye was kept under observation for 5 years. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was 58.6% (45.6% preretinopathy, 13% retinopathy) in the first year and 91% (78% preretinopathy, 13% retinopathy) after 5 years. The clinical picture of the fundus in Type II diabetes is characterized by arteriosclerotic changes and a mild diabetic retinopathy with only slow progression.
