Sleep Duration May Influence Cataract, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Myopia Risk
Investigators examined correlations between sleep duration and the risk of several major eye disorders.

Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are a factor in diabetic end-organ damage and several diabetic complications. Investigators studied whether measuring AGE with skin autofluorescence (SAF) could predict diabetic complications.
Investigators evaluated whether maximum body mass index before onset of type 2 diabetes could predict progressive diabetic retinopathy or diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The relationship between body composition and severe diabetic eye disease in people with type 1 diabetes is unclear. A group of Finnish and Australian researchers sought to discover if there was a connection.
Research shows that point-of-care diabetic retinopathy screenings that provide immediate results and are likely to lead to an in-office exam for patients who need it.
