Fenofibrate, which is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist, has beneficial effects on lipid profiles that include lowering triglycerides and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and reducing coronary vascular events in large clinical trials. Results from recent clinical trials suggest a role for fenofibrate in reducing the progression and/or inducing regression in mild-to-moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR). The role of fenofibrate in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy is associated with its anti-inflammatory properties. The effect and mechanisms of fenofibrate in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy are reviewed in this article.
