Diabetic Retinopathy
•Last Updated: November 21, 2024
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes, specifically the retina. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to leakage, swelling, or abnormal blood vessel growth. This can result in vision problems and, if left untreated, blindness.
