What are the Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy?

It is possible to have diabetic retinopathy for some time without noticing any symptoms. Typically, it does not cause noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred and complications have developed.

• Blurred or distorted vision or difficulty reading.
• Floaters or flashes of light in your field of vision.
• Partial or total loss of vision or a shadow or veil across your field of vision.
• Pain in the eye.
If any of these symptoms appear for the first time or increase, call your doctor immediately.
