Materials and methods. 47 patients with mild to moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy were included in this trial. Dynamics of ophthalmologicparameters were assessed by means of stereoscopic photography of ocular fundus. Patients were examined every 6 months in order to registernew cases of clinically significant macular oedema. Results. During 24 months follow-up period, patients treated with 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid showed stabilization in development of diabetic retinopathy.New cases of macular oedema, as well as transition into a more severe stage of retonopathy were less common in those patients.
