All About Diabetic Retinopathy
If you have diabetes, a simple test in your primary care provider’s office can tell whether you’re at risk for diabetic retinopathy – a serious complication of diabetes that can cause vision loss or even blindness.
If caught early, diabetic retinopathy is highly treatable. And because the earliest stages of the disease don’t have any symptoms, regular exams are important.
