                    [Summary] => Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease due to complications of diabetes. If not treated and controlled early, this complication can lead to blindness. 


But Dr. Amadeo Veloso Jr., one of Asian Eye Institute’s retina specialists, has good news: "A diabetic can actually prevent this complication from happening." 


He emphasizes three things. One, good control of a patient’s blood sugar level with medications; two, exercise; and three, proper diet.

Although there are no local statistics readily available, a 1996 study by the Philippine Diabetes Association reveals that the blood sugar level among Filipinos increases after the age of 40.
