Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness and is commonly viewed as a vascular complication of diabetes mellitus. However, diabetes mellitus causes visual dysfunction before the onset of clinically visible microvascular changes associated with diabetic retinopathy. Thus, viewing diabetic retinopathy more generally as a neurovascular disease may lead to an improved understanding of the mechanisms responsible for vision loss. This article reviews the impact of diabetes mellitus on inner and outer retinal visual and electrophysiologic function and advocates for a multimodal approach to the study of diabetic retinopathy.

　　中文摘要：糖尿病视网膜病变是首要的致盲原因，通常认为是糖尿病的血管并发症。然而，糖尿病视网膜病变引起临床可见的微血管改变出现之前，视功能损害就可发生。因此，把糖尿病视网膜病变看做神经血管性疾病可能更好的了解其导致视觉损失的机理。本文综述了糖尿病对内在的和外在的视网膜功能和电生理学功能的影响，并主张多种方法研究糖尿病视网膜病变。
