Understanding
Diabetic retinopathy is an injury to the small blood vessels of the retina caused by diabetes. For a long time it is silent, but if it is not detected in time, it can affect vision. It is one of the main causes of visual problems in people with diabetes.
The symptoms
- Often no symptoms at first
- Fluctuating vision
- Appearance of spots or floating objects
- Vision impairment at an advanced stage
The support
Regular screening is key. A thorough eye examination, complemented by imaging, allows the early detection and timely treatment of the first lesions, either by laser or injections depending on the case. Maintaining good blood sugar control remains an essential element of treatment.
The course of events
Regular retinal examinations are recommended for people with diabetes, even in the absence of any discomfort. The frequency of follow-up depends on your situation and the progress of the disease.
A doubt, a symptom?
