retina is one of the most sensitive and vital structures in the human eye, responsible for converting light into neural signals that enable vision. For individuals with diabetes or hypertension, retinal health requires constant monitoring because these systemic conditions directly affect ocular blood vessels. Poorly managed diabetes may lead to diabetic retinopathy, while uncontrolled hypertension can result in hypertensive retinopathy. Both conditions may progress silently, often without symptoms until advanced stages.
