Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes, is a major cause of acquired blindness in adults. Currently, a clinical diagnosis of DR primarily relies on fundus fluorescein angiography, with a limited availability of effective biomarkers. Metabolomics, a discipline dedicated to scrutinizing the response of various metabolites within living organisms, has shown noteworthy advancements in uncovering metabolic disorders and identifying key metabolites associated with DR in recent years. Consequently, this review aims to present the latest advancements in metabolomics techniques and comprehensively discuss the principal metabolic outcomes derived from analyzing blood, vitreous humor, aqueous humor, urine, and fecal samples.
