Lightmasks that prevent dark adaptation for non-central diabetic macular oedema: the CLEOPATRA RCT

Lightmasks that prevent dark adaptation for non-central diabetic macular oedema: the CLEOPATRA RCT

Background: Hypoxia may contribute to the development and progression of diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and diabetic retinopathy. The photoreceptors are the most metabolically active cells in the retina and the rod photoreceptors consume the maximal amount of oxygen for dark adaptation. Therefore, a...
