Conference on Diabetes and Diabetic Retinopathy

Managing toxic glucose and fat concentrations in the vasculature remain significant challenges for diabetics. As the numbers of patients affected by the disease climbs, so secondary vascular and ophthalmic complications affecting patients continue to grow. With up to 50 million people currently affected by diabetic eye diseases and 100 million forecast by 20251, more effective therapeutics are desperately needed.

Set to double from $32bn to $64bn over the next 15 years2, the global diabetes market is set for stellar growth as changing demographics and new therapies begin entering the clinic.
