Since the first description of lipemia retinalis by Heyl in 1880,1only about 68 cases have been reported in patients with diabetes. To the best of our knowledge only seven of these have had complete determinations of the lipid fractions at the time of diagnosis, and only five of these were studied after the disappearance of the eye findings.2, 3, 4Experimental procedures designed to elucidate the pathogenesis of lipemia retinalis are difficult to...Bibliography1.
