Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition caused by diabetes that damages blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems and potential loss. Early stages may have no symptoms, but progression can cause blurred vision and floaters. Regular eye exams and managing blood sugar levels are essential for early detection and treatment, which can include laser therapy and injections to preserve vision and prevent severe complications. Timely intervention can help prevent irreversible damage and maintain quality of life. Additionally, lifestyle changes and adherence to diabetes management can further reduce the risk of progression. Maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels is also crucial in preventing retinopathy. Quitting smoking can significantly improve eye health and reduce the risk of diabetic complications. Incorporating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants supports overall eye health and can aid in managing diabetes.
