Overview
Diabetic retinopathy is the most serious diabetic complication. Modern pharmacotherapy offers a wide range of potential treatments (ACE inhibitors, sartans, hypolipidemic drugs, drugs influencing proteinkinase C and vascular endotelial growth factor etc.). Diabetic retinopathy was previously treated surgically but today pharmacotherapy is becoming increasingly important. Undoubtly basic strategy for preventing diabetic retinopathy is antihyperglycemic therapy and normoglycemia.
Key words:
ACE inhibitors – sartans – hypolipidemic drugs – proteinkinase C – vascular endotelial growth factor
