Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina and can lead to blindness. It is one of the leading causes of preventable vision loss worldwide. Early detection and interventions such as laser treatment can help prevent severe vision loss. Screening for diabetic retinopathy is important, especially for those with poorly controlled diabetes, to ensure timely treatment and prevent vision impairment.
