ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication of Diabetes Mellitus that affects the retinal vessels and can lead to progressive vision loss. It represents one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in the world and is directly related to the time of diagnosis and the patient' s glycemic control. Poor glycemic control, combined with hypertension and other metabolic factors, accelerates the progression of the disease and worsens the ophthalmological condition. Strategies that promote rigorous glycemic control, regular screening, and early access to treatments are fundamental to reducing the visual impact of the disease. Awareness of these factors is essential for better clinical outcomes and quality of life for patients. OBJECTIVES: To analyze diabetic retinopathy and highlight prevention strategies in the population, with the aim of reducing the impacts on individuals' quality of life.
