Cataracts and glaucoma are also common. As the name implies, diabetic retinopathy is tied to diabetes and can cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina. According to the National Eye Institute, in 2013 7.7 million people over 40 have diabetic retinopathy with an estimated 11 million by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>This eye disease doesn\u2019t always have early warning signs. So if you have diabetes, it\u2019s important to have at least one comprehensive eye exam per year, even if you have no vision problems. The longer you have diabetes, the longer your risk of vision loss. The National Eye Institute also reports that \u201c95% of severe vision loss from diabetic retinopathy can be prevented by early detection, timely treatment, and appropriate follow-up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you have diabetes and want to know more about diabetic retinopathy, please call our Dallas area\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eyectexas.com\/\">opthalmology office<\/a> in Grapevine \u2013 convenient to most all of the Dallas\/Fort Worth region.
