Diabetic Eye Disease

Diabetic Eye Disease

What is Diabetic Retinopathy?

The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. A healthy retina is necessary for good vision. Light is focused through the eye onto the retina, allowing us to see. The centre part of the retina is called the macula – it is here that light must be focused for us to see fine detail, to be able to read and to see in colour.

If you have diabetic retinopathy, at first you may not notice changes to your vision. Diabetes causes changes in the blood vessels of the retina and small haemorrhages develop in the retina and macula.

What is the macula?

The back of the eye has a light-sensitive lining called the retina, similar to the film in a camera. Light is focused through the eye onto the retina, allowing us to see. The centre part of the retina is called the macula – it is here that light must be focused for us to see fine detail, to be able to read and to see in colour.
