In people with diabetes, tiny blood vessels in the retina can leak fluid into the macula, the area responsible for sharp central vision. This is called Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) and it is a major cause of vision loss in diabetic patients.
You may notice blurry or “washed out” central vision, difficulty reading or recognizing faces, or that straight lines look wavy or distorted. These changes can develop gradually and sometimes go unnoticed at first.
Regular eye checks are essential for anyone living with diabetes, even if your vision still seems “good.”
At AEC, our retina specialists follow patients from the earliest diabetic changes all the way to more complex situations, offering structured monitoring and advanced care when macular edema is already present.
