Summary

This study follows 100 people with type 2 diabetes who have moderate to severe diabetic retinopathy, a condition that can lead to vision loss. Researchers will use advanced eye scans and imaging to track changes in the retina over two years. The goal is to find better ways to predict when treatment is needed to prevent blindness.
