Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of electroretinogram (ERG) using a novel handheld system, RETeval, and evaluate contrast sensitivity testing in detecting pre-clinical retinopathy on a tablet device. Investigators also seek to assess if a medication called Sinemet™ CR can improve the electrical functions of the eye in participants with diabetes mellitus. This study will include a total of 45 participants; 30 with diabetes mellitus and 15 age-matched non-diabetic controls. Participants with diabetes mellitus and electroretinogram (ERG) delays will be randomized to a low or high dose Sinemet CR group.

Interventions

  • DRUG Low Dose Sinemet CR
  • DRUG High Dose Sinemet CR
  • DEVICE RETeval Electroretinogram (ERG) Testing
  • OTHER Contrast Sensitivity Testing
  • OTHER Visual Acuity Testing
