Patients who receive more frequent anti-VEGF injections for diabetic macular edema have a marginally higher death risk, research shows.
Is it an ophthalmologist’s job to advise patients with diabetes on lifestyle choices, such as diet? Ophthalmologists Kristen Nwanyanwu, MD, Aleksandra Rachitskaya, MD, and Abdhish Bhavsar, MD, say it is, and suggest that saving vision may require putting patients in touch with a nutritionist.
Patients with diabetes underwent fewer injections and experienced worse vision loss than others, a report shows.
Innovators and educators including Michael D. Abràmoff, MD, T.Y. Alvin Liu, MD, Aaron Lee, MD, and Aazim A. Siddiqui, MD, speculate about how deep learning technologies are primed to expand ophthalmology’s capabilities.
