It may progress without any symptoms and may result in vision loss in its final stage.
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease that progresses without any symptoms and can lead to severe and sudden vision loss in its final stage, resulting in blindness.
At the beginning of the disease, the patient may have no complaints, but the symptoms appear over time. One in every three diabetic patients examined has signs of diabetic retinopathy, either mild or severe.
👀Speaking for Izmir, the frequency of encountering diabetic retinopathy in the outpatient clinic has decreased significantly due to the early guidance of our physician colleagues in internal branches and the increase in the awareness level of our patients. 👏👏👏👏.
👀 Since it is a preventable disease, we recommend at least an annual check-up for our diabetic patients.
