Abstract: Diabetes can cause various eye complications, of which diabetic retinopathy(DR)is the most common cause of blindness, and diabetic macular ischemia(DMI)is one of the causes of vision loss in DR. The pathogenesis, mechanism, and treatment of DMI have not been fully elucidated yet, and research is still in its early stages. However, the impact of DMI on patients cannot be ignored, and clinicians need to understand the disease completely. Therefore, this article reviews the research progress including risk factors, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes induced by macular ischemia.

Key words: Diabetic macular ischemia, Diabetic retinopathy, Diabetic macular edema, Fundus fluorescein angiography, Optical coherence tomography angiography
