Diabetes can have a drastic effect on several of the body’s major organs, and it can particularly degrade one’s eyes, possibly leading to low vision, or even blindness. Diabetic Retinopathy, a common low vision disease caused by diabetes, is the number one cause of blindness for American adults. There is no cure, but it’s progress can be slowed with certain medicines or laser treatments. However, in a scramble to halt this rampant cause of low vision, researchers have uncovered a miracle protein that may hold the key to preventing blindness caused by Diabetes. All the data looks promising, and it seems like this could lead to a monumental breakthrough. Follow researchers and doctors as they tap into this medically significant protein in this fascinating new article.
