Abstract
The global incidence of diabetes is rising steadily and with it the number of people living with diabetic retinal disease (DRD) is increasing. Like diabetes, DRD can be treated but not cured. In response, therapies to address DRD include targeted ocular and systemic medications. This review discusses diabetes and DRD in terms of current screening recommendations, treatments, and considerations related to those therapies and future drug targets and trials on the horizon. This discourse is targeted at all members of the diabetes care team, including primary care providers, optometrists, and ophthalmologists. The dynamic landscape of diabetic retinopathy treatment is promising for the prevention and improvement of visually significant disease.
