Abstract:Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common diabetes complications and the leading cause of blindness in the workingage population worldwide. Diabetic retinopathy can cause progressive retinal damage, eventually leading to the vision loss and lowering the patient′s quality of life.In the past, diabetic retinopathy was considered to be only a vascular disease. However, it is now widely believed that diabetic retinopathy is a neurovascular disease with neurodegeneration occurring prior to the appearance of the microvascular lesions. Although diabetic retinopathy has been extensively studied, its complex pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated, and this review focuses on the possible pathogenesis of neurodegeneration in diabetic retinopathy as well as potential treatments.
