Q: Are floaters always a sign of a serious condition? 👁️💡
A: Floaters are often harmless and part of the natural aging process. However, if you experience a sudden increase or notice flashes, it could be a sign of retinal detachment.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE DIABETIC RETINOPATHY?

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects your eye. High blood sugar levels can result in the blockage of tiny blood vessels that supply nourishment to the retina of your eye.

In its early stages, diabetic retinopathy often has no symptoms. Symptoms develop when the condition gets worse. These include seeing more and more floaters (spots in your vision), having blurred vision, having vision that changes sometimes from blurry to clear, having poor night vision, having blank or dark areas in your field of vision, noticing colors appear faded or washed out, and losing vision.

Consult your ophthalmologist for more information.

HOW IS DIABETIC RETINOPATHY DIAGNOSED?

Your ophthalmologist will put drops in your eye to dilate (widen) your pupil, so that he or she can look through a special lens to see the inside of your eye. Your doctor may do optical coherence tomography (OCT) to look closely at the retina. In OCT, a machine scans the retina and provides detailed images of its thickness, helping your doctor find and measure swelling of your macula.

Your ophthalmologist may also do fluorescein angiography to see what is happening with the blood vessels in your retina. Fluorescein angiography uses a yellow dye called fluorescein, which is injected into a vein (usually in your arm). The dye travels through your blood vessels. A special camera takes photos of the retina as the dye travels throughout its blood vessels. This will show any blood vessels that are blocked or leaking fluid, as well as any abnormal blood vessels.

Talk to your ophthalmologist for more information.
