Diabetic Retinopathy


In Australia, nearly one third of diabetics suffer from damaged vision in which the focusing ability of the eye is weakened or fluctuates. Changes in the eye may occur in the retina, blood vessels in the eye may leak causing blurred vision or even turn images to red. Laser surgery can treat diabetic retinopathy to stop it from spreading.
