Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition caused by long-term diabetes that damages the blood vessels of the retina. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss if left untreated. At Netram Eye Hospital, Nashik, we provide advanced diagnosis and comprehensive treatment for diabetic eye disease to help preserve and protect your eyesight.
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to leakage, swelling, or abnormal vessel growth. The condition often develops silently, without early symptoms, making regular eye checkups essential for diabetic patients.
In early stages, symptoms may be absent. As the disease progresses, you may experience:
Early detection can prevent permanent damage.
It cannot be completely cured, but early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent vision loss.
No, retinal laser treatment is generally painless and done as an outpatient procedure.
Not all, but the risk increases with the duration of diabetes and poor sugar control.
