My final question is on the correlation with diabetes. Mr. Mullaniff stated that 10% of people with diabetes would develop vision impairments. Diabetes is on the increase and many people do not know that there is a correlation between diabetes and eyesight. Until my aunt lost her eyesight a number of years ago due to diabetes, I would never have thought that there was a correlation. What is the scientific reason for that correlation? Diabetes is prevalent in society.
