3. Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes complication, caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the retina. It can cause blindness if left undiagnosed and untreated. The blood vessels may swell and leak or prevent blood from reaching the retina. Sometimes abnormal cells grow on the retina.
Besides blurry vision, this condition may cause increased numbers of floaters, dark spots in the field of vision and poor night vision. Treatment may involve better blood sugar control, injections of medication into the eye or laser surgery.8Boyd, Kierstan. ‘What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?’ American Academy of Ophthalmology, 18 Sept. 2020, www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/what-is-diabetic-retinopathy.,9‘Diabetic Retinopathy Diagnosis and Treatment.’ American Academy of Ophthalmology, 2 Sept. 2020, www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/diabetic-retinopathy-treatment.
