Diabetic Retinopathy: When Diabetes Affects the Retina •Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition that occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels of the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. •It is one of the most common complications of diabetes and can affect both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. •In the early stages, it may not show any noticeable symptoms, making regular eye check-ups very important.• As the condition progresses, symptoms may include blurred vision, dark spots, floaters, fluctuating vision, and difficulty seeing at night.• If left untreated, it can lead to severe vision loss or even blindness. •The risk increases with poor blood sugar control, high blood pressure, and long-standing diabetes. •Treatment options include laser therapy, injections, and advanced surgical procedures depending on severity.• At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide comprehensive diabetic eye screening and advanced treatment to protect vision. Regular monitoring and good diabetes control are essential to prevent complications.#DiabeticRetinopathy #EyeCare #VisionCare #HealthyEyes 👁️
