mumbai
Diabetic retinopathy Diabetic retinopathy is a
form of eye disease caused by chronically high or
variable blood sugar that is associated with
diabetes. If left untreated, diabetic retinopathy
can lead to vision loss and blindness. The
condition develops slowly throughout many years
therefore, it is essential to undergo regular eye
tests when you have Diabetes. Retinopathy is
basically impaired blood vessels in the retina
which is the thin inner light-sensitive layer
situated in the back of the eyes. In some cases,
these vessels will swell up (macular oedema) and
leak fluid into the rear of the eye. In other
cases, abnormal blood vessels will grow on the
surface of the retina. Treatment Treatment of
diabetic retinopathy depends on the extent of the
disease.

may need to get them less often or may no longer
need them at all, but others will need to
