Diabetic Eye Care & Retina Examination
Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetic eye disease is a group of eye problems that can affect people with diabetes.
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Diabetic Macular Edema
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
Diabetic Retinopathy
Chronically high blood sugar levels damage tiny blood vessels in the retina, causing leakage and bleeding. This can distort vision over time.
If untreated, abnormal blood vessels may grow, leading to scarring and potential vision loss.
Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)
The macula is responsible for sharp central vision. Fluid leakage from damaged blood vessels causes swelling in the macula.
Cataract
Cataract causes painless and progressive vision loss due to clouding of the eye’s natural lens.
It tends to develop faster in people with uncontrolled diabetes.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure.
