Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2020, Vol 35, Issue 4
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and its complications seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Diabetic keratopathy, one of diabetic complications, has been widely concerned for its increasing incidence. Diabetes mellitus damages the corneal nerve, epithelium, stroma and endothelium, causing clinical manifestations such as dry eye and delayed corneal wound healing. Currently, the main treatments of diabetic keratopathy include systemic hypoglycemic treatment and relief treatment for dry eye symptoms. Corneal nutrition treatment and stem cell therapy are expected to be new solutions. In this article, we will review the main characteristics of diabetic keratopathy and the latest progress on its treatment, aiming to explore more effective treatments for diabetic keratopathy.
