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 Mellitus (DM) affects many parts of the eye. While we traditionally associate vision loss from DM with diabetic retinopathy, it can affect various structures of the eye other than the retina. In this chapter, we will focus on the disease’s effects on the lens, and on the drainage apparatus of the eye. Specifically, we will look at cataract and glaucoma incidence in DM and its etiologic role, and then discuss treatment strategies.
