Tight blood pressure control prevents blindness in patients with diabetes

Tight blood pressure control results in a small benefit in the prevention of blindness, with a number needed to treat of 1000 per year. Tight control was also associated with a reduction in loss of visual acuity after 9 years (but not with shorter durations of follow-up) and an increase in the likelihood of cataract extraction.
