Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the important causes of visual impairment. It is due to damage to the blood vessels of the retina. The abnormal blood vessels associated with Diabetic Retinopathy stimulate the growth of scar tissue, which can pull the retina away from the back of the eye. According to the UK National diabetic retinopathy screening service, the prevalence of DR in Type 1 diabetes was 56.0% and 30.3% in type 2 diabetes.
