Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is usually assessed in people living with diabetes, since it is one of the eye complications associated with this condition and it is best to detect it early through periodic vision checkups.
Diabetic retinopathy is damage to the small blood vessels of the retina, the layer at the back of the eye that senses light, caused by high glucose levels sustained over time.
Common symptoms: in early stages it may cause no discomfort; as it progresses, blurred vision, floating spots, or progressive vision loss appear.
When should it be checked? People with diabetes benefit from regular eye exams, even without symptoms.
Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist, especially the one dedicated to the retina, performs the evaluation of the back of the eye. Keeping up with checkups with a professional is key to protecting visual health when living with diabetes.
