Abstract
Patients with diabetes may be at risk of ocular diseases, like retinopathy due to diabetes and oedema of the eye. Patients with retinopathy due to diabetes experience constant injury to the retina and the posterior end of the eye, which is light-sensitive. It is a prominent complication faced by diabetics that threatens a patient's vision. Diabetes can inhibit the body's potential to ingest and maintain blood glycemic levels, resulting in several health problems. Excessive glucose in the blood can affect the eyes and other organs of the body. Diabetes has an effect on the blood supply system of the retina over a prolonged period of time. Diabetes-related retinopathy can lead to blindness as fluid can flow into the macula, which is essential for maintaining a clear visual field. The macula, despite its small size, is the region that enables us to comprehend colours and fine peculiarities well. The fluid swells the macula, leading to an impaired visual field. The weak, irregular blood vessels formed during neovascularization can potentially haemorrhage into the posterior end of the eye, obstructing the visual field. Blood vessels of the eye leak blood and other fluids, causing retinal tissue enlargement and eyesight clouding. Typically, the illness affects both eyes. Diabetes retinopathy is more likely to develop as a person's diabetes progresses. If untreated, retinopathy due to diabetes can result in blindness.
