Eye disease (retinopathy) is a possible complication of diabetes, known as diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy generally has no early warning signs and may surface suddenly. Sometimes, the person affected will have blurred vision, which deteriorates and improves during the course of a day. "Retinopathy" is medical term describing the damage to the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that nourish the retina. The retina is located at the back of the eye and it captures light and relays the information to the brain. The tiny blood vessels are adversely affected by high blood sugar associated with diabetes.

  • Eye disease (retinopathy) is a possible complication of diabetes, known as diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy generally has no early warning signs and may surface suddenly. Sometimes, the person affected will have blurred vision, which deteriorates and improves during the course of a day. "Retinopathy" is medical term describing the damage to the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that nourish the retina. The retina is located at the back of the eye and it captures light and relays the information to the brain. The tiny blood vessels are adversely affected by high blood sugar associated with diabetes. In severe cases, blood vessels may bleed causing haemorrhage, and vision may become blurred. Tiny specks of blood, called "floaters", will be floating in the affected person's vision field, and may disappear sometimes. However, they may be followed by greater leakage of blood, and they may clear soon or may not clear even for days and months, and may require treatment and control of diabetes to reduce their impact on the vision.
