Diabetic retinopathy

What is Diabetic retinopathy ?

Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition that can cause vision loss in people with diabetes. It's caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.

• Blurred vision or distorted vision
