Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy (DR), which is a common microvascular complication of diabetes, is a leading cause of blindness in working-age adults. Beyond the eye, retinopathy changes in diabetic patients have been shown to carry an increased risk for cardiovascular events including coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, all-cause and CVD mortality. In addition to clinical CVD, DR has also been shown to be associated with subclinical measures of atherosclerosis. Independent of diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major risk factor for CVD and death due to CVD accounts for up to 50% of all deaths in patients with moderate and severe CKD. DR is a well-known risk factor for CKD. DR shares many risk factors, genetic and pathogenic pathways
