You may have diabetic retinopathy for a long time without noticing any symptoms. Typically, retinopathy does not cause noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred and complications have developed.

Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy and its complications may include:

* Blurred or distorted vision or difficulty reading.
* Floaters in your vision.
* Partial or total loss of vision or a shadow or veil across your field of vision.
* Pain in the eye.
