What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision impairment or even blindness if left untreated. Recognizing the symptoms of diabetic retinopathy is crucial for early intervention. These may include:
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Dark spots or specks floating across your visual field
- Colors may appear faded or less vibrant
- Vision loss
- Dark or empty areas in your vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Eye pain or pressure
If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to seek prompt medical attention.
