What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. High blood sugar levels cause damage to these vessels, leading to vision problems. This condition can progress through stages, from mild non-proliferative retinopathy to severe proliferative retinopathy, which can result in significant vision loss if not managed properly.
