Associate Professor of Ophthalmology and Vitreoretinal Disease Specialist, Madja Hadziahmetovic, MD published an article in the September Issue of Retina entitled, "Managing DR in Pregnancy: A (Not-So) Hot Topic."
The article discusses the barriers to proper screening and care that diabetic women may face during pregnancy and how that may threaten their vision.
"Pregnancy is a known risk factor for the development and progression of DR, requiring careful assessment. Despite the high risks of vision loss associated with DR in pregnancy, only a small fraction of research focuses on this vulnerable population."
