Computer analysis of ocular results following selective blockade of growth-hormone in diabetic retinopathy. A collaborative study.

Computer storage and analysis of ocular data (visual acuity, fundus photographs and fluorescein angiographies) in diabetic retinopathy (DR) was used before and 1, 3 and 5 years after "Stereo-GIHF". This radiobiological procedure results in the selective inhibition of growth-hormone (GH) release. A series of 107 eyes were analyzed after division into 2 categories A and B (A: progressing background DR, n = 53, B: proliferative DR, n = 54).
