Diabetic Eye Disease
📋Overview
Diabetic Eye Disease encompasses a range of specific conditions including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. Diabetic retinopathy is a common and serious form of these disorders, occurring when persistent high blood glucose levels cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina.
These conditions are associated with the long-term impact of metabolic changes on the vascular and structural integrity of the eye. Over time, these physiological effects can lead to changes in retinal health or intraocular pressure that may impair visual function.
