Abstract EN
The increasing global prevalence of diabetes is a critical problem for public health.
In particular, diabetic retinopathy, a prevalent ocular complication of diabetes mellitus, causes severe vision loss in working population.
A better understanding of the pathogenesis and the development of new pharmacologic treatments are needed.
This paper describes the relevance between Rho/ROCK pathway and the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy from its early to late stages.
Moreover, the therapeutic potential of ROCK inhibitor in the total management of diabetic retinopathy is discussed.
