Why is it important?
The loss-control of pandemic of metabolic diseases warrant adverse outcomes of metabolic diseases, such as cardiovascular diaseses, and thus early detection may lessen the expenditure on the diseases prevention and treatment. This review article discuss the unique anatomy of the eye circulation, and provide massive evidences of the relationships between the eye circulation and the common metabolic diseases, as well as its utilization value in clinical and basic studies. All in all, this field may emerged to provide massive advantageous for disease prevention.
Perspectives
The old saying goes: "The eye may be a door open for mind," through the eyefundus detection of different signs of diseases, we may uncover more mysterious of various diseases, at their early phase, to help control the upsurging tendency of current pandemic of metabolic diseases.
