Diabetic Retinopathy is a major complication of diabetes that affects the retina — the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. High blood sugar levels damage tiny retinal blood vessels, causing leakage, swelling, or bleeding that can lead to vision loss if untreated.

Symptoms may include blurred vision, floaters, and difficulty seeing at night. However, early stages often show no symptoms, making regular eye examinations essential for all diabetic patients.

Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. In early stages, controlling diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol can slow progression. In advanced cases, treatments such as laser photocoagulation, anti-VEGF injections, and vitrectomy surgery may be required to prevent permanent damage.

At our clinic, we use high-resolution imaging to detect diabetic retinopathy early and provide customized treatment plans. Our goal is to protect your vision, control disease progression, and preserve long-term eye health.

Diabetic Retinopathy is preventable with good sugar control and timely eye care. Schedule regular screenings to keep your eyes healthy — because protecting your sight is just as important as controlling your diabetes.
