Abstract
The global increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has led to the development and implementation of new classes of anti-diabetic medications, introducing advanced therapeutic options for the management of the disease. These new medications, though primarily designed to regulate blood glucose levels, also have applications in weight management, potentially transforming the current approaches to diabetes treatment. Newer medications, however, have ophthalmic side effects with controversies in trials and real-life data. We conducted a comprehensive assessment of the ocular benefits and adverse effects of both traditional and newer-generation anti-diabetic drugs. Our primary focus is on how these newer medications affect the stage of diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, we explore the associations between these medications and other ocular conditions, including age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, orbital conditions, and diseases impacting the ocular surface. Furthermore, we provide contextual background by discussing the ocular effects of traditional anti-diabetic drugs.
