Diabetic retinopathy is the most severe form of the several kinds of ocular complications causing damage to the retina, as a result of [[diabetes]].It is an [[ocular manifestation of systemic disease]] which affects up to 80% of all diabetics who have had diabetes for 15 years or more. It is the leading cause of non traumatic blindness in adults. People with untreated diabetes are 25 times more at risk for [[blindness]] than the general population. Despite these intimidating statistics, research indicates that at least 90% of these new cases could be reduced if there was proper and vigilant treatment and monitoring of the eyes. | |||
