Retinal Disorders and Treatment

Diabetic retinopathy is a potentially blinding complication of diabetes that can damage the retina. The disease affects half of all Americans diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when tiny retinal blood vessels become damaged and begin to leak fluid or blood, resulting in blurred vision. Diabetic retinopathy that is detected early, treated early, and controlled is associated with the best vision maintenance. The specialists at Retina Group of Florida will work closely with your doctor to manage and monitor your diabetes.
