How Does Histology Aid in Understanding Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. Histological examination reveals:
Microaneurysms in the retinal blood vessels. Retinal hemorrhages. Formation of new, fragile blood vessels (neovascularization). Thickening of the basement membrane of retinal capillaries.
These changes can lead to vision loss if not managed properly.
