Does diabetic retinopathy cause pain?

 

It's brought about by harm to the veins of the light-touchy tissue at the rear of the eye (retina). From the start, diabetic retinopathy may cause no indications or just gentle vision issues.

Sympotms:

You probably won't have indications in the beginning phases of diabetic retinopathy. As the condition advances, you may create:

Spots or dim strings drifting in your vision (floaters)
Obscured vision
Fluctuating vision
Dim or void regions in your vision
Vision misfortune
When to see an eye specialist

Cautious administration of your diabetes is the most ideal approach to forestall vision misfortune. On the off chance that you have diabetes, see your eye specialist for a yearly eye test with widening regardless of whether your vision appears all good. Creating diabetes when pregnant (gestational diabetes) or having diabetes prior to becoming pregnant can build your danger of diabetic retinopathy. In case you're pregnant, your eyespecialist may suggest extra eye tests all through your pregnancy.

Contact your eye specialist immediately if your vision changes unexpectedly or becomes foggy, inconsistent or cloudy.

Causes:

After some time, an excessive amount of sugar in your blood can prompt the blockage of the small veins that support the retina, removing its blood supply. Subsequently, the eye endeavors to develop fresh blood vessels. However, these fresh blood vessels don't grow as expected and can spill without any problem.

There are two kinds of diabetic retinopathy:

Early diabetic retinopathy. In this more normal structure — called nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) — fresh blood vessels aren't developing (multiplying). At the point when you have NPDR, the dividers of the veins in your retina debilitate. Little lumps jut from the dividers of the more modest vessels, now and again releasing liquid and blood into the retina. Bigger retinal vessels can start to widen and become unpredictable in measurement also. NPDR can advance from gentle to serious as more veins become obstructed.

Here and there retinal vein harm prompts a development of liquid (edema) in the middle segment (macula) of the retina. On the off chance that macular edema diminishes vision, treatment is needed to forestall perpetual vision misfortune.

Progressed diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy can advance to this more serious sort, known as proliferative diabetic retinopathy. In this kind, harmed veins close off, causing the development of new, strange veins in the retina. These fresh blood vessels are delicate and can spill into the reasonable, jellylike substance that fills the focal point of your eye (glassy).

Ultimately, scar tissue from the development of fresh blood vessels can make the retina segregate from the rear of your eye. On the off chance that the fresh blood vessels meddle with the typical progression of liquid out of the eye, pressing factor can work in the eyeball. This development can harm the nerve that conveys pictures from your eye to your mind (optic nerve), bringing about glaucoma.
