Metabolism, 1975
Retinopathy is present in 60%-80% of long-term diabetics, and 5%-10% of diabetics surviving 20 yr from the time of diagnosis will be blind, mostly from retinopathy, which is now the commonest cause of newly diagnosed blindness in the 30-65 yr age group. The mean survival time after a diagnosis of retinopathy is only 5 yr.

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1991
This review suggests the following risk factors which accelerate the natural progression of retinopathy during pregnancy: 1. Pregnancy per se is an independent risk factor which accelerates retinopathy. 2. Hypertension potentiates this acceleration. 3. Hyperglycemia also potentiates this acceleration. 4. The duration of diabetes and state of the retina
