Diabetic retinopathy can cause serious vision loss and blindness.
Symptoms that could be related to diabetic retinopathy include:
Blurry vision
Floaters
Distorted vision
Vision loss
Dark or empty spots in your vision
Flashing lights
Difficulty seeing colors
Difficulty with reading
If you experience any of the above symptoms, it is important to contact your eye doctor. Early detection and treatment can prevent severe permanent vision loss and blindness.
Diabetic retinopathy can also develop without any warning signs.
Getting regular eye exams is important because your eye doctor can detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy, even before you notice any vision problems.
