Clinical Trial Summary

Evaluate the association between level of decreased corneal sensitivity and diabetic retinopathy severity scale

Description:

This study is assessing the association between neurotrophic keratopathy and diabetic retinopathy severity by examining subjects with diabetic retinopathy to associate DRSS and disease characteristics with corneal desensitization. In addition, to better understand the relationship of disease duration, HbA1c, and status of concurrent systemic therapies and diabetic retinopathy treatments, predictive modelling will be performed to determine predictive factors of patients at highest risk of developing reduced corneal sensitivity.
