Retinopathy is a medical condition that affects the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. The retina plays a crucial role in capturing light and converting it into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for visual processing.

In retinopathy, the blood vessels in the retina become damaged or abnormal. This can happen due to various reasons, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or other underlying health conditions. When the blood vessels are affected, they may leak fluid or blood, or they may become blocked or distorted.

The severity of retinopathy can vary, ranging from mild cases with minimal symptoms to more severe forms that can lead to vision loss or even blindness. Common symptoms include blurred or distorted vision, difficulty seeing at night, floaters (spots or lines that appear in your field of vision), or sudden vision loss.
