What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic Retinopathy is a diabetes complication that affects the eyes. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina). Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage these blood vessels, leading to vision problems and potentially blindness.
In the early stages, diabetic retinopathy may cause no symptoms or only mild vision problems. The primary cause of diabetic retinopathy is chronic high blood sugar levels due to diabetes.
Types
1. Non – Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy – It is the milder form of diabetic retinopathy and is usually symptomless
2. Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy – This is the most advanced stage of diabetic retinopathy and it refers to the new and abnormal blood vessels in the retina.
Symptoms
- Blurred vision
- Fluctuating vision
- Dark or empty areas in your vision
- Difficulty seeing colors
- Vision loss
- Spots or dark strings floating in your vision (floaters)
Causes
- Duration of diabetes: The longer you have diabetes, the greater the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy.

- High blood pressure and high cholesterol: These conditions also increase the risk of diabetic retinopathy.
- Pregnancy: Pregnant women with diabetes can be at higher risk for diabetic retinopathy.
