In the modern world, this complication, which affects the retina of the eye, is one of the most common causes irreversible vision loss. The causes lie in long-term high blood sugar, which damages the small blood vessels in the eyes, while symptoms include blurred vision, dark spots in the field of vision, difficulty seeing in the dark, and loss of central vision. If not treated in time, diabetic retinopathy can cause serious, permanent consequences, such as detachment of the retina and complete blindness.
