In chronic degenerative microangiopathies of the retina such as the diabetic retinopathy there is excessive oxidative stress in both serum and aqueous humor. Some comparative clinical studies with long-term antioxidant supplementation show a slower disease progression compared to untreated patients.
In patients with In diabetic macular edema treated with intravitreal ranibizumab injections, the addition of DHA-TG supplementation showed that a significant reduction in macular thickness was achieved compared to the control group. This anatomical improvement, which was already seen in the first 12 months, is converted into a significant improvement in visual function in the second year.

In chronic degenerative microangiopathies of the retina such as the diabetic retinopathy (a disease of the retina of the eye. High blood sugar levels damage the fine blood vessels in the retina.) there is excessive oxidative stress in both serum and aqueous humor.
Some comparative clinical studies with long-term use of antioxidants show a slower progression of the disease compared to the untreated patients.
