Overview
Historical Perspective
Although diabetes was a well known disease since 2nd AD, no one ever linked this disorder to the eye. In 1946, the french scientist, Appolinaire Bouchardat reported vision loss in the absence of cataract in patients with diabetes. After the introduction of ophthalmoscopes in 1985, Edward Jaeger firstly described the diabetic macular changes in the form of yellowish spots that permeated retina. These observations were challenged as there were no proofs whether macular changes were directly related to diabetes, or they were caused by hypertension and atherosclerosis. The debate continued until the beginning of the 20th century, when Arthur James Ballantyne suggested that diabetic retinopathy represents a unique form of vasculopathy and his work showed for the first time the role of capillary wall alterations in the development of diabetic retinopathy.[1]
