Disruption of the retinal parafoveal capillary network in type 2 diabetes before the onset of diabetic retinopathy.

abstract：PURPOSE:Estimates of the incidences of severe visual impairment and blindness (SVI/B) and their causes are key to good health service planning. Thus, the database of Germany's largest state's blind registry was used to estimate current incidence rates (IR) and to project rates for Germany in 2010 and 2030. METHODS:The...
