"Diabetes 2000" will parallel a major diabetic retinopathy public information campaign recently announced by the National Eye Institute. The NEI's National Eye Health Education Program (NEHEP), which targets both diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, is fashioned along the lines of earlier federal initiatives against smoking and high blood pressure. By continuously updating our medical knowledge and skills related to this multisystem disorder, and by forging partnerships between physicians in the effective and efficient management of diabetic patients, we have a unique and important opportunity--we can reduce preventable blindness from diabetes by the year 2000.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is increasingly common in the aging and is experienced by approximately one in three people in their lifetime. It is also relatively common in immune-compromised people. Acute HZ causes severe pain, reduced quality of life and severe complications, including prolonged pain, or postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), and ocular zoster, which may rarely progress to blindness.

Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina (GACR, OMIM #258870) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by progressive chorioretinal degeneration and hyperornithinemia. Current therapeutic modalities potentially slow disease progression but are not successful in preventing blindness. To allow for trial development, increased knowledge of the clinical phenotype and current therapeutic outcomes is required.

Purpose: Age-related cataract (ARC) remains one of the leading causes of blindness globally. Despite the satisfactory outcomes of surgical interventions, significant disparities in access to medical care prevent many patients from receiving effective treatment. Thus, identifying reliable biomarkers and therapeutic targets to expand treatment options for ARC is essential.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes, which may cause visual disturbance and even loss of sight. Oxidative stress and inflammation are two crucial pathological factors of DR; however, their specific regulatory mechanisms in DR remain obscure.
Methods: DR models were established in streptozotocin-challenged rats and high glucose (HG)-stimulated Müller cells.
