Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes can result in damage to the blood vessels in the retina, requiring comprehensive eye treatment. Regular monitoring and management of blood sugar levels can help prevent this condition from worsening. If diabetic retinopathy develops, treatments like laser surgery or injections may improve vision. Photosensitivity can be a symptom of advancing diabetic retinopathy, but it is also associated with other diabetes-related eye conditions like cataracts and glaucoma. The light sensitivity can be caused by damage to the retina, such as the destruction of the retinal pigment epithelium, or by increased light scatter from photocoagulation scars.
