Does diabetes show in your eyes?
Diabetic retinopathy (die-uh-BET-ik ret-ih-NOP-uh-thee) is a diabetes complication that affects eyes. Its caused by damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina). At first, diabetic retinopathy might cause no symptoms or only mild vision problems.
At the earliest stage of diabetic retinopathy, we can detect small changes to your blood vessels, usually seen as tiny bulges in the walls of the blood vessels supplying the backs of your eyes. These can also bleed easily due to the weakening of the blood vessel walls, so some small haemorrhages may be detected.
What are the findings associated with diabetic retinopathy?
Features of diabetic retinopathy can include microaneurysms, intraretinal hemorrhage, exudates, cotton-wool spots, macular edema, macular ischemia, neovascularization, vitreous hemorrhage, and traction retinal detachment.
