Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetic Retinopathy

Chronically high blood sugar can damage tiny blood vessels in the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye.  Diabetic Retinopathy causes the blood vessels to leak fluid or bleed which can distort vision. In advanced stages, new blood vessels can form on the retina and leave scarring on the retina. Diabetic Retinopathy is the most common cause vision loss in people with diabetes. If you have diabetes make sure that you are coming in for your routine diabetic eye exam.
