The main ophthalmological diabetic complications are reviewed, viz. oculomotor disturbance or deviation, optic neuropathy, rubeosis iridis leading to neovascular glaucoma, cataract, and diabetic retinopathy, which is particularly frequent. A brief overview of these various types is presented. The current methods of treatment, which serve to avoid blindness for most patients, are described.
