People with diabetes can have an eye condition called diabetic retinopathy. This is when high blood sugar levels cause damage to blood vessels in the retina. These blood vessels can swell and leak, or they can close and stopping blood from passing through or sometimes can cause abnormal growth of new blood vessels on the retina. All these changes causes damage to your vision.

Depending on the type of retinal disorder, medical treatment, laser therapy or surgical treatment may be required. Early detection is the first step of treatment, on top of standard eye examination additional detailed fundus examinations may be recommended.
