Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is a major eye-related complication caused by long-standing diabetes and mainly affects the retinal vascular system. It is recognized as one of the primary causes of preventable visual impairment worldwide. Early detection and proper medical intervention are crucial to avoid permanent vision damage; however, many individuals remain undiagnosed due to limited awareness and restricted access to specialized eye care. This paper presents a comprehensive review of diabetic retinopathy, focusing on its clinical symptoms, stages of disease development, and the influence of diabetes on retinal blood vessels. It also examines the growing role of artificial intelligence in early screening, explains the working principles of AI-driven diagnostic systems, and discusses the contribution of wearable devices and digital health solutions.

Advanced diagnostic approaches such as optical coherence tomography and laser-based treatment methods are analyzed, along with the difficulties faced in rural healthcare environments. Ethical considerations related to the use of artificial intelligence in medical imaging are also explored. Finally, the study suggests practical, technology-oriented strategies to improve the prevention, detection, and management of diabetic retinopathy.

Keywords: diabetic retinopathy, artificial intelligence, retinal imaging, optical coherence tomography, digital health.
