Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition caused by damage to the tiny blood vessels in the retina due to high blood sugar levels. Over time, these blood vessels can leak, swell, or close, leading to vision problems and even blindness if left untreated. In its early stages, diabetic retinopathy may not cause noticeable symptoms, making regular eye check-ups essential for people with diabetes. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we offer advanced retinal imaging, laser treatments, and injection therapies to manage the disease and protect vision. Controlling diabetes, along with timely treatment, can greatly reduce the risk of vision loss.
