Book Your Appointment TodayWhat is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy happens when long term high blood sugar damages the small blood vessels in the retina, the light sensitive layer at the back of the eye.
In the early stage, many patients may not notice any symptoms. This is why regular eye screening is important for people living with diabetes.
Warning Signs of Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy may stay silent at first, but symptoms can appear as the condition progresses.
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Dark spots or floaters
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Reduced sharpness of vision
- Sudden vision changes
- Vision loss in advanced cases
Any sudden change in vision should be checked quickly.
Who is at Risk?
The risk of diabetic retinopathy increases when diabetes remains uncontrolled for a long time.
Risk may be higher in patients with:
- Long duration of diabetes
- High HbA1c levels
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Kidney disease
- Pregnancy with diabetes
- Smoking
Understanding Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. It may have no symptoms at first, but early eye screening can help protect vision.
What Causes Diabetic Retinopathy?
Long term high blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels inside the retina.
Why Eye Screening Matters
Eye damage can begin before vision changes. Regular screening helps detect problems early.
Warning Signs to Notice
Blurred vision, floaters, night vision trouble, or sudden changes should be checked quickly.
Why Early Care Matters
Early care can help slow progression, protect vision, and reduce serious eye complications.
Stages of Diabetic Retinopathy
Early detection can reduce the risk of vision loss.
- Mild: early vessel changes
- Moderate: visible vessel damage
- Severe: more blocked vessels
- Proliferative: abnormal new vessels
Treatment Approach
Treatment depends on stage and eye findings.
- Better sugar control
- Blood pressure management

Can It Be Slowed?
