The goal of most refractive surgeries is to reduce or eliminate the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses. Several types of corrective surgical procedures can be done for refractive errors.

Nearsightedness

Farsightedness

Astigmatism

You didn't answer this question.
You answered
The correct answer is
The condition is called diabetic retinopathy. Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness among adults each year. In diabetes, damage can occur to the retina of the eye. The retina is a thin layer of tissue in the back of the eye. It captures light rays that enter the eye, making vision possible. Small blood vessels supply blood to the retina. In diabetes, these tiny blood vessels can often be affected by high blood sugar (glucose) levels. This damages the retina and can lead to blindness.
