Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye complication of diabetes, where high blood sugar damages retinal blood vessels. Initially asymptomatic, it can progress to blurred vision and blindness. Regular eye exams and controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol are crucial for early detection and management to protect vision.

What is diabetic retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes. It affects blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of your eye).
What causes diabetic retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by high blood sugar due to diabetes. Over time, having too much sugar in your blood can damage your retina — the part of your eye that detects light and sends signals to your brain through a nerve in the back of your eye (optic nerve).
What are the symptoms of diabetic retinopathy?
The early stages of diabetic retinopathy usually don’t have any symptoms. Some people notice changes in their vision, like trouble reading or seeing faraway objects. These changes may come and go.
