A retinal detachment is a very serious problem that almost always causes blindness if left untreated. The macula is a small area in the retina at the back of the eye that allows you to see fine details clearly. If you have diabetes mellitus, your body does not use and store sugar properly resulting in retina damage. Your retina is located at the back of your eye. Although it is a thin, light-sensitive tissue, it packs a punch: it is responsible for controlling how you see images. In an ideal eye, images focus on the retina and those images are converted into electrical impulses that are transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain.
It makes sense, then, that any damage to the retina will result in vision problems ranging from blurriness to spots to decreased central vision and even blindness.
