Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye disease that affects people with diabetes. It is caused by the damage to the blood vessels in the retina, which leads to vision impairment and, in some cases, blindness. If left untreated, it can have serious consequences, including blindness. It is the most common cause of blindness among people with diabetes. The best way to prevent this condition is to keep blood sugar levels under control, as well as to get regular eye exams. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of vision loss and preserve some level of vision. Treatment options range from laser treatment to injections and surgery.
