Reduced intrinsically photosensitive ganglion cell function in diabetic retinopathy is linked to circadian dysregulation and sleep disturbances.
Reduced ipRGC function in DR is associated with circadian dysregulation and sleep disturbances, although a causal relationship cannot be established in this cross-sectional study. Prospective mechanistic and intervention studies examining circadian and sleep health in these patients are warranted.
Reutrakul et al. (2020) studied this question.
