Medscape (6/2, Harrison, Subscription Publication) reports, “People with diabetic retinopathy experience depression at higher rates than the general population, but the rate decreases at the most severe stage of the disease,” investigators concluded after analyzing “a database of 95,575 people 18 years and older with eye exams on record at the Carolina Data Warehouse, a repository of all patients seen in the University of North Carolina system.” The findings were presented in a virtual presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology 2020 Annual Meeting.
