    Diabetic retinopathy causes gradual or sudden vision loss, floaters, blurred vision, eye pain or redness, and difficulty seeing in the dark. There is no cure, but early treatment can prevent, delay, or reduce vision loss. Diabetic retinopathy typically develops after 3-5 years of having diabetes and may initially not affect sight but could eventually impact vision if left untreated and progresses.

    Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy

    gradually worsening vision.


    sudden vision loss.
    shapes floating in your field of vision (floaters)
    blurred or patchy vision.
    eye pain or redness.
    difficulty seeing in the dark.

    There is no cure for diabetic retinopathy. But treatment works very well to
    prevent, delay, or reduce vision loss. The sooner the condition is found, the
    easier it is to treat. And it's more likely that vision will be saved.

    how long does it take diabetic retinopathy to develop?


    Typically, diabetic patients will develop diabetic retinopathy after they
    have had diabetes for between 3-5 years. In the early stages, diabetic retinopathy
    will not affect the sight, but if it is not treated and progresses, eventually the
    sight will be affected.
