Diabetic Retinopathy, nonproliferative

Diabetic Retinopathy, nonproliferative
The upper picture shows the fundus of a diabetic with very early changes. There is a small cotton-wool spot and a small intraretinal hemorrhage. Some time later a lot of microaneurysms and accumulations of microaneurysms are found above the fovea along the supero-temporal artery in the eye of the same patient (lower picture). Hard exudates become visible.
