Abstract
Hormonal and cardiocirculatory modifications during pregnancy cause changes in eye. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the conditions influenced by pregnancy. Risk factors for DR progression are absence of pregnancy programming, initial stage of DR, diabetes duration, poor glycemic control, rapid correction of glycemic control and hypertension. A multidisciplinary medical management including ophthalmologic follow-up can minimize the risk of DR impairment during pregnancy.
