Summary
The retinal vasculature changes dramatically in patients with diabetic retinopathy especially
between non-proliferative and proliferative disease. The retinal vasculature can be imaged
and quantified using special dyes. This study will test whether the pattern of the retinal
vasculature changes in patients with different levels of diabetic retinopathy can be
quantified using computerized image analysis. In addition, the study will evaluate whether
new drugs to treat diabetic retinopathy will be able to reverse these vascular changes.
