Diabetic retinopathy

Is an eye disease caused by diabetes. Diabetes can affect your eye care, making it especially important to get a regular eye exam. Damaged blood vessels and abnormal new ones can cause vision loss.

Over time, too much sugar in your blood causes damage to the tiny blood vessels that nourish the retina, cutting off its blood supply. In advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy, the eye tries to grow new blood vessels. These new blood vessels don't develop correctly and can leak or bleed easily.
