Retina

It’s not uncommon for patients to suffer from retinal damage, which can be caused by a variety of diseases. The retina is responsible for converting light into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. Because of its location, the retina is especially susceptible to injury. Here we will discuss the most common causes of retinal damage, including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinitis pigmentosa.​

Q6. What is diabetic retinopathy?

Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that occurs when the blood vessels in your eyes become more sensitive to the glucose level in your blood. Diabetes damages the blood vessels in your eyes. This damage leads to leaking blood vessels and swelling. It can lead to a loss of vision in your eyes.
