What are the symptoms when diabetics start to get retina eye damage?

Do not wait: Decreased vision and blindness can be decreased with good control of your blood sugar and a yearly dilated eye exam by a competent specialist such as an ophthalmologist before you have any symptoms.

Usually no symptoms: Even with early damage but if progresses can get blurred vision if area near macula swells, or sudden blindness if new blood vessels break, bleed its reason why diabetic patients suggested to see eye md yearly to detect early or more advanced disease early, before catsatrophes occur.

Diabetic eye disease: Blurred vision, trouble focusing, floaters, blind spots. See a retinal specialist as this disease can be treated and may result in permanent vision loss without treatment
