What is Diabetic Retinopathy?

Those with diabetes can develop what is known as diabetic retinopathy. This condition occurs when blood sugar levels reach high levels and cause damage to blood vessels located in the retina. Blood vessels may swell, leak, or close. As a result, your vision can be lost.

There are two stages of diabetic retinopathy our doctors in Baton Rouge treat:

Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy

This is the early stage of diabetic retinopathy. Many people with diabetes have it without realizing it.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is the advanced stage of diabetic retinopathy. You can start losing your central and peripheral vision in this stage.
