Diabetic Retinopathy Management

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that damages the blood vessels in the retina, leading to visual impairment and, in severe cases, blindness. It is a leading cause of vision loss among adults with diabetes, highlighting the importance of early detection and treatment. Advanced treatment techniques aim to restore vision and prevent disease progression.
