Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Diabetes affects the eye in many ways. We most commonly think of posterior segment complications as the main problem causing loss of vision in diabetes which is certainly the most common way people suffer ocular damage. However, the anterior segment is not immune to diabetic complications, and the cornea can be affected in a variety of ways. The manifestations of the corneal disease will be discussed in detail in this chapter.
