✦ Synopsis

Management decisions for patients with diabetic eye disease can remain dif®cult despite the presence of guidelines. The cases below illustrate the dilemmas about the timing of instituting insulin in patients needing laser photocoagulation for improvement of glycaemic control. The use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors for diabetic eye disease is also discussed.
