Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Die diabetische Retinopathie ist weiterhin eine verbreitete Komplikation des Diabetes mellitus, die aufgrund der frühen Symptomarmut ein regelmäßiges Screening verlangt.

Diagnostik

Die diagnostischen Verfahren mit permanenter Dokumentation sind zu bevorzugen, neue Technologien auf Smartphonebasis sind verfügbar.

Therapie

In der Therapie sind Stellenwert und Effektivität von normnaher Blutzucker- und guter Blutdruckeinstellung evaluiert. Die intravitreale Therapie des diabetischen Makulaödems mit Anti-VEGF-Antikörpern zeigt für einen Teil der Patienten eine gute Effektivität.

Abstract

Background

Diabetic retinopathy is still a common complication of diabetes mellitus, which necessitates regular screening due to the lack of symptoms during early stages.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic screening modalities using permanent documentation are preferable and newer technologies using smartphones are available.

Therapy

The relative role and effectiveness of euglycemia and normal blood pressure have been well defined. Intravitreal treatment of diabetic macular edema using anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibodies show good effectiveness for some patients.
