Diabetic retinopathy is a condition in which prolonged high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels and nerve tissue of the retina, the light-sensing layer inside the eye. About 15 to 30% of diabetic patients in Korea have this condition, and it is important to have an annual eye exam even without symptoms. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the three leading causes of blindness in Korea, so early detection and appropriate treatment are essential to protecting your vision.2026-06-26

Glaucoma is a disease in which the optic nerve inside the eye is gradually damaged by high intraocular pressure or other factors, causing the visual field to narrow progressively. There are almost no symptoms in the early stage, so detection can be delayed, and rather than a cure, lifelong consistent management is important. Detecting it early through regular checkups and starting treatment is the best way to help prevent blindness.2026-06-26
