Diabetic Retinopathy

With some diabetics, changes can occur to the blood vessels which line the surface of the retina. This condition can lead to the loss of central vision. Research has developed treatments using lasers to bring the situation under control in most cases. Researchers are investigating new ways of arresting this disease.
