Diabetic retinopathy: the signs, who is at risk, the yearly eye exam, protecting your sight, and treatment

For anyone with diabetes (type 1, type 2, or diabetes in pregnancy) who wants to protect their eyesight; anyone just told they have diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema; anyone with blurry vision or dark floating spots; anyone pregnant with diabetes; and anyone facing eye injections, laser treatment or surgery. The National Eye Institute (NEI, part of the NIH) says diabetic retinopathy can cause vision loss and blindness in people with diabetes; that it is the most common cause of vision loss for people with diabetes; that it may have no symptoms at first, so everyone with diabetes should get a dilated eye exam at least once a year; that managing your diabetes is the best way to lower your risk; and that treatment can stop your vision from getting worse. This page passes on, by name, what NEI says: the signs, who is at risk and why, the eye exam, protecting your sight, and injections, laser and surgery. It builds the words to say to an eye doctor, and prints a card to keep.

Right now

  • Dark floating spots or streaks like cobwebs, or vision getting worse? Get treatment right away, even if the spots clear up on their own (NEI). Pain or worsening vision after an eye injection: call your eye doctor right away; it could be an infection (NEI). If you cannot reach them, or you suddenly lose vision, go to an emergency room, and call 911 if you cannot get there; do not drive yourself (ours).
  • Very low or very high blood sugar with confusion, fainting or trouble breathing? Call 911 (ours). Our diabetes guide has more.
  • Thoughts of suicide? Call or text 988, any hour (ours).

More help

Your eyes or your sight, and not sure this is the right page? The pages on this site for a hurt or pink eye, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes and the eyes, macular degeneration, a detached retina, fading sight and eye care you can afford, on one list.

General information from people who care, not medical advice. We are not doctors or nurses. Only an eye doctor can find diabetic retinopathy, tell how far along it is, and decide with you about treatment, and this page cannot. This guide names no brand of medicine and no dose. In an emergency, call 911.

This page and its wording were written with AI (Claude) for Scarlet Beast (our AI policy). No doctor or nurse has reviewed it. The facts were read on October 16, 2026 on four National Eye Institute (NIH) pages: Diabetic Retinopathy (last updated September 11, 2025), Injections to Treat Eye Conditions (March 24, 2026), Laser Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy (December 6, 2024) and Vitrectomy (December 6, 2024). Ours: going to an emergency room if you cannot reach your eye doctor or suddenly lose vision, 911 if you cannot get there, and not driving yourself; 911 for very low or very high blood sugar with confusion, fainting or trouble breathing; 988 for thoughts of suicide; never changing insulin or another diabetes medicine on your own; what to bring to a dilated exam; the questions to ask at a visit; health centers and medicine costs when money is tight; and the order of the steps. What we left out: two numbers where NEI’s English and Spanish pages disagree (how many people with diabetes get diabetic retinopathy, and how many get macular edema), every drug name on NEI’s injections page, research news (medicines still being studied), doses, and clinical pages for providers. This page saves nothing and loads no trackers.
