HERNANDEZ PEREZ, Arianna  y  TIRADO MARTINEZ, Oslay Mijail. Bioethical aspects of the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2014, vol.27, n.2, pp.272-282. ISSN 0864-2176.

Medicine is such an old practice as the mankind. It has been modified and enriched with the scientific and technical revolution advances, but it always follows the same principles and ethical standards that set the physician-patient relationship based on respect, confidence and the Hippocratic precept of doing no harm.

Palabras clave : diabetic retinopathy; therapeutics; ethics.
