Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a condition that affects the eyes of individuals with diabetes. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to leakage of fluid into the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. This fluid buildup causes swelling and can result in blurred or distorted vision. DME is a common complication of diabetic retinopathy, which is a progressive eye disease linked to diabetes. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent vision loss. Treatment options may include laser therapy, injections, or medications to reduce swelling and improve vision.
