Blindness: Diabetic retinopathy is a main cause of blindness. Exudates are the primary signs of diabetic retinopathy and thereby early detection of exudates is one of the best ways to prevent vision loss.

Retina blood vessels: Small blood vessels in the retina become leaky and abnormal vessel growth factors stimulate the growth of new abnormal vessels with weak walls called microanuerisms. This leads to the problem of diabetic retinopathy.
