Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetic retinopathy is a prevalent diabetic complication with important social and budgetary repercussions. Treatments such as intravitreal injections and laser photocoagulation are focused on the late stages of the disease, but there is no specific treatment for the early stages. Moreover, in advanced retinal disease, when a diabetic macular edema is present, the response to intravitreal injections, which are invasive, is heterogeneous, and more personalized medicine is needed. New approaches and new therapeutic targets, as well as new drug delivery forms in diabetic retinopathy treatment, have arisen in recent years.
The aim of this Special Issue of Pharmaceutics is to compile high-quality papers related to the medical treatment of diabetic retinopathy (clinical or experimental), with especial emphasis on the early stages of the disease. Papers (review articles or original research) focusing on new therapeutic targets, new drug delivery forms or a personalized management of diabetic retinopathy will be welcome in this Special Issue.
