Diabetic Eye Diseases
Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye conditions that people with diabetes may face as a complication of diabetes. Each condition can lead to severe vision loss or even blindness. Diabetic eye disease may include:- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and is a leading cause of blindness in American adults.
Diabetic retinopathy can cause blood vessels in the eye to swell and leak fluid. It can also cause new, abnormal blood vessels to grow on the surface of the retina. A healthy retina is necessary for good vision.
Diabetes Treatment
Diabetic retinopathy can be detected during a comprehensive eye exam that includes visual acuity testing, dilated eye exam, and tonometry.
