What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the sugar metabolism in the body is disturbed. Our retina contains many small blood vessels. The walls of the small blood vessels in our body are affected by diabetes. As a result, the red blood cells transport less oxygen and our retina receives less nutrition.

Diabetes is often accompanied by the following complaints:

  • Changing vision
