What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes, caused by high blood sugar damaging the blood vessels of the retina. DR can worsen over time, leading to vision loss or blindness. A retinal screening at least once a year is vitally important for people with diabetes, since they may not have any symptoms during the early stages of DR.
