(Think of it like transitioning from a 12 megapixel camera back to a six megapixel.) The disorder\u2019s implications can be amplified if diabetes is left untreated.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Diabetic Retinopathy Causes<\/h4>\n<p>The most common cause of diabetic retinopathy is unchecked diabetes. In most cases, retinopathy is left undiagnosed until dramatic changes in vision begin to occur, making it a much more difficult eye disease than most to catch early. Upon being diagnosed with diabetes, a follow-up appointment with an ophthalmologist is advised.<\/p><!--<form id=\"clid_form\">\n    <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"params_by_clid\">\n    <input type=\"text\" id=\"clid\" name=\"clid\" value=\"002546\">\n    <a href=\"javascript:\/\/\" onclick=\"getParametersByCLID('clid_form')\">Submit<\/a>\n<\/form>\n<div id=\"second_form_setion\"><\/div>-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the eye\u2019s blood vessels deteriorate and fluid fills the retina, reducing overall vision.
