A leading cause of blindness is called diabetic retinopathy.
In a new scientific report, researchers have found that high doses of
aspirin* but not some other anti-inflammatories, "....have a beneficial
effect in early experimental diabetic retinopathy and hold promise for
clinical efficacy in patients."
*The dosage used in the animal studies was 50 milligrams per kilogram. A kilogram is 2.2 pounds. A full aspirin (not a baby one) is 325 milligrams.
Please note that despite aspirin's wide range of benefits, it is still a
drug. It can cause gastric upset, and even ulcers to those sensitive to it.
