Diabetic retinopathy is the most frequent cause of new cases blindness among adults aged 20 –74 years. During first two decades disease, nearly all patients with type 1 diabetes and 60% 2 have retinopathy.

<h3>Objective</h3> To compare 2 laser photocoagulation techniques for treatment of diabetic macular edema: the modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) direct/grid technique and a potentially milder (but more extensive) mild grid (MMG) in which microaneurysms are not treated directly small burns placed throughout macula, whether or edema is present. <h3>Methods</h3> Two hundred sixty-three subjects (mean age, 59 years) with previously untreated were randomly assigned to...

Mexican Americans (MAs) have a threefold greater prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) than non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs). Because MA diabetic subjects hyperglycemia and an earlier age onset NHW subjects, we postulated that MAs might also more severe retinopathy. Stereoscopic retinal photographs the seven standard fields each eye were taken in 257 56 NHWs with NIDDM. The read by University Wisconsin Fundus Photographic Reading Center graded standardized criteria. had...

* OBJECTIVES: We investigated the efficacy of intravitreal tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for treatment acute central retinal vein occlusion. DESIGN: Twenty-six eyes with occlusion (CRVO, n=23) and hemi-retinal (n=3) recent onset visual symptoms (^ 21 days) were identified given an injection 65 -1 10 µg tPA. RESULTS: Among CRVO, acuity improved to 2* 20/40 in 7 23 patients (30.4%) at 6 weeks, 8 (34.8%) months. Visual or stabilized 69.6% (16 patients) week visit persisted longer...
