Today is World #Diabetes Day. #Diabetic-retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness among working-age adults worldwide, and the duration of diabetes is the most significant risk factor for its development. This image demonstrates some classic features of diabetic retinopathy: microaneurysms, flame-shaped hemorrhages, hard exudates, and cotton wool spots. 60% of the world’s diabetic population is in Asia, and patients in India and China develop diabetes on average 10 years earlier than those in Europe and the United States. #dm15.
