Background retinopathy and retinal vascular changes - what does this mean
Background retinopathy and retinal vascular changes are caused by changes in the retinal vessels due to a variety of factors, including diabetes, hypertension, and other systemic diseases. these changes can lead to decreased blood flow to the retina, resulting in damage to the retinal tissues and vision loss.
What happens during the disease - background retinopathy and retinal vascular changes
Background retinopathy and retinal vascular changes are caused by a combination of factors including long-term exposure to high levels of glucose, poor blood circulation, and increased pressure inside the eye. these factors can lead to damage of the retinal vessels, which can cause swelling and leaking of fluid and blood into the retina. this can result in decreased vision, blurred vision, and eventually blindness.

Background retinopathy and retinal vascular changes - Prevention
Prevention of background retinopathy and retinal vascular changes includes maintaining healthy lifestyle habits such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and controlling blood sugar and blood pressure levels. regular eye exams can help to detect any changes in the retina early and allow for prompt treatment.
