Diabetic eye diseases include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema (DME), cataract & glaucoma all of which have potential to cause severe vision loss & blindness. Diabetic retinopathy, the commonest cause of vision loss among people with diabetes affects retinal blood vessels causing them to bleed & leak fluid.
