Diabetic eye diseases are group of disease conditions which affect diabetic patients. There are basically two types: diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema [DME].  Diabetic retinopathy affect the blood vessels in the light sensitive part of the eye [retina] leading to vision impairment and  blindness. DME occurs as a consequence of diabetic retinopathy. It is caused by a swelling in the part of the retina called the macula.

#1) Whats the difference between dme and retinopathy?
Answer: Retinopathy is usually a sign of another medical condition. Although several medical conditions can cause retinopathy, the most common causes are diabetes and hypertension. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a serious eye condition that affects people with diabetes. DME results when the damaged blood vessels leak fluid and cause swelling, which blurs vision.
