Study on the mechanism of maintaining homeostasis of corneal epithelium in diabetic patients

Abstract

Keratopathy is closely related to diabetes, and severe cases pose a threat to vision. At present, the treatment of diabetic keratopathy focuses on preventing infection and promoting the optical healing environment. A comprehensive understanding of disease progression from the cellular level is essential for identifying and developing potential therapeutic agents. This article reviews the phenomenon of diabetic corneal epithelium disorder and its subsequent maintenance of homeostasis, and discusses its rationality.
