Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a closing of the blood vessels in the retina, resulting in the retina being starved of blood. This leads to fragile and abnormal blood vessels growing on the surface of the retina, which can lead to permanent loss of vision – either from bleeding into the eye, detachment of the retina or retinal scarring.
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned, please make an appointment with the optical expert at your nearest Vision Express store.
