What is Diabetic Retinopathy?

Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that causes vision loss in patients with diabetes due to damage to the blood vessels in the retina. Your retina is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of your eyes and is responsible for turning the light signals your eyes receive into images in your brain. These damaged vessels in the retina result in blurred vision or even vision loss.

Typical Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy

Diagnostic Questions for Diabetic Retinopathy

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Is it hard for you to distinguish subtle differences in color intensity or brightness?
  • Have you ever been treated for diabetes?
  • Have you experienced any changes in your color perception?
  • Are you experiencing double vision?
  • Have you experienced partial loss of vision?

Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy

Treatment depends on the severity of the diabetic retinopathy. In milder cases, good control of blood sugar levels can be effective in improving vision in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Severe cases require medication injections or laser treatment to reduce swelling and improve vision.
