'A staggering problem'
A new study from the CDC projects that the number of adults 40 and older with diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults, will reach 16 million in 2050, up from 5.5 million in 2005. Diabetics are also more prone to developing cataracts and glaucoma, the study notes, and older Latinos and blacks are expected to be disproportionately affected.
