Rem�dio de diabetes pode frear perda de vis�o por idade, sugere estudo

A study published in BMJ Open Ophthalmology suggests that metformin, a common and inexpensive diabetes drug, may also protect against vision loss in older adults. Over five years, researchers tracked around 2,000 people with type 2 diabetes and found a potential benefit in slowing the progression of age-related macular degeneration. This discovery could have significant implications for treating both diabetes and age-related vision loss, offering a dual-purpose solution that's both accessible and effective.
