The protective drug interacts with collagen, increasing its cross-links, thus diminishing the permeability in small, as well as in large blood vessels. After an observation period of 14.5 months an average increase of myopia by 0.53 dpt per eye was demonstrated. The final examination of 29 patients showed a stabilization of the fundus-alterations, as well as a stable, or an improved visual acuity respectively. In 7 patients a moderate deterioration of the partial or overall medical findings occured. Our observations allow the conclusion that Difrarel E achieves therapeutically valuable results in the treatment of progressive myopia.
Diabetic retinopathy can lead to blindness.
Twelve adult diabetics were treated with 600 mg anthocyanosides per day for two months. Samples of gingiva tissue were taken before and after treatment. Incubated with radio-active labeled amino acids, the measure of radioactivity from different connective tissue extracts can show a changed protein biosynthesis activity. Anthocyanosides help to prevent diabetics from injuries caused by malfunction of synthesis-activities throughout normal diabetic medical treatment. Especially in patients with diabetic retinopathy, a positive influence on the permeability and tendency to hemorrhage was observed.
