The following information is about Diabetic Retinopathy.

Diabetic Retinopathy Defined

A disease of the small blood vessels of the retina of the eye. When retinopathy first starts, the tiny blood vessels in the retina become swollen, and they leak a little fluid into the center of the retina. The person's sight may be blurred. This condition is called background retinopathy. About 80 percent of people with background retinopathy never have serious vision problems, and the disease never goes beyond this first stage.However, if retinopathy progresses, the harm to sight can be more serious. Many new, tiny blood vessels grow out and across the eye. This is called neovascularization. The vessels may break and bleed into the clear gel that fills the center of the eye, blocking vision. Scar tissue may also form near the retina, pulling it away from the back of the eye. This stage is called proliferative retinopathy, and it can lead to impaired vision and even blindness.See also: Photocoagulation or vitrectomy for treatments.

This definition is in context to Diabetes. See more contextual defintions for Diabetic Retinopathy.

  • Benfotiamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Benfotiamine (rINN, or S-benzoylthiam ine O-monophoshate ) is a synthetic S-acyl derivative of thiamine (vitamine B1). After absorption, benfotiamine can be dephosphorylat ed by cells bearing an ecto-alkaline phosphatase to the lipid-soluble S-benzoylthiam ine. The primary use of this antioxidant is as an "anti-AGE " supplement.[3] In a trial, benfotiamine lowered AGE by 40%.[4] However, in Germany doctors have been known to combine benfotiamine with pyridoxine hydrochloride and use it to treat patients with nerve damage and nerve pain such as sciatica.
