The study showed a clear association between vitamin D deficiency and the presence and severity of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes. Patients with more advanced stages of retinopathy had lower concentrations of vitamin D. In addition, they were more frequently deficient in vitamin D than those without diabetic retinopathy.
