Diabetes and the Eye
Samir G Farah, MD
Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology,
St. George Hospital University Medical Center, University of Balamand
When you look at something, light passes through the front of your eye and is focused by the cornea and lens onto your retina. The retina is a delicate tissue that is sensitive to light. It converts the light into electrical signals that travel along the optic nerve to your brain. The brain interprets these signals to “see” the world around you. The retina is supplied with blood by a delicate network of blood vessels. These blood vessels can be damaged by diabetes.
