What Is Diabetic Eye Disease?

Diabetic eye disease is also known as diabetic retinopathy. It features progressive destruction of the retina and one of the leading causes of blindness in diabetic patients. This destruction is triggered by alterations in the retinal blood vessels, which fail to deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to the eye structures, causing progressive tissue damage.

The blood vessels become weak and start leaking fluid. New blood vessels begin to grow and can bleed. The retina starts to get covered by membranes that exert traction on the retina causing detachment and loss of function.
