What causes diabetic retinopathy?

Diabetic retinopathy is usually referred to as diabetic retinopathy, mainly because the patient does not control blood sugar in a reasonable range after diabetes.

After diabetes, if the patient does not actively control blood sugar, resulting in high blood sugar levels for a long time, it is easy to damage capillaries, leading to capillary occlusion, neovascularization, and then will induce diabetic retinopathy. In addition, if the patient has hyperlipidemia, smoking, alcoholism, obesity, etc. on the basis of diabetes, the risk of diabetic retinopathy will be greater.

If the patient has diabetes, it is recommended to actively cooperate with the doctor to reduce the risk of various complications.
