INTRODUCTION: Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye disease that can cause loss of vision and vision in people with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar levels affect the blood vessels in the retina. Nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) are two types of diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Blood sugar levels may be controlled to control NPDR. PDR is a very serious condition that affects the middle view. Diabetes retinopathy is diagnosed using dilated eye scan, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography. Laser treatments, eye injections, and surgery are also used to treat the onset of diabetes. To prevent new blood vessels from growing behind the eyes, injections of vascular endothelial cell factor inhibitors are injected directly into the eyes. AIM: Diabetic retinopathy disease. CONCLUSION: Diabetic retinopathy is a permanent condition. Laser analysis (photocoagulation) is normally very helpful at avoiding vision damage when performed before the eye is damaged. If the eye is not badly affected, surgical removal of the vitreous gel will increase vision (vitrectomy). An anti-inflammatory or anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injection may help create new blood vessels in some cases of chronic diabetes.
