Diabetic Retinopathy – Control the damage, meet the specialist

Diabetic Retinopathy, as the name suggests, it is, a diabetes-related ocular problem. All conditions due to diabetes that affect the retina, the portion of the eye that is sensitive to light, are referred to as diabetic retinopathy. When blood sugar levels are high, diabetic retinopathy can occur. The retinal blood vessels become slowly damaged followed by leakage and accumulation of fluid in retina causing vision to become foggy and indistinct.

Diabetes mostly affects the retina, which can result in eye problems that can cause blindness. Compared to people without diabetes, those with diabetes have an increased chance of developing eye issues that lead to blindness.

There are two different types of Diabetic Retinopathy

• Non- Proliferative or Early diabetic retinopathy
• Proliferative or Advanced diabetic retinopathy .
