Diabetes of the eye often develops in a progressive
manner and is usually associated with the general
condition of the diabetes throughout the rest of the
body.
This development from a background or non-
proliferative stage to a proliferative stage may occur
if treatment and patient control of the diabetes is not
successful over a period of time.
Success is often dependent upon the combined
efforts of physician treatment and patient
compliance in medication, diet, and appropriate
exercise activities.
