Hayat H et al. - Conventional therapy for diabetic retinopathy with laser photocoagulation reduces the risk of visual loss more effectively than it improves visual function. Despite the increased risk of early worsening of retinopathy seen with intensive glycaemic control in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial and the UK Prospective Diabetes Study, improved control closer to the time of diagnosis of diabetes mellitus would have helped to provide a sustained reduction in the risk of retinopathy developing or progressing. Both laser treatment failure and non-attendance may limit the benefits of improved screening coverage.
