## Abstract Breakdown of the blood‐retinal barrier (BRB) occurs in several retinal diseases and is a major cause of visual loss. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been implicated as a cause of BRB breakdown in diabetic retinopathy and other ischemic retinopathies, and there is evidence
The effect of calcium dobesilate on the alteration of the blood-retinal barrier was studied in 41 adult-onset, non-insulin dependent diabetic patients with minimal or no retinopathy, randomly assigned to receive either oral calcium dobesilate (1000 mg twice daily) or a placebo for 12 months. The pos
