Diabetic Retinopathy - how Lumyeye Pro helps.
Diabetic retinopathy can reduce or distort vision. Lumyeye Pro offers spoken help with everyday reading and scene questions on compatible iPhone devices. Do not use AI or OCR answers to identify medication or decide a dose.
Understanding diabetic retinopathy
Daily symptoms.
Type 1 or type 2 diabetes damages the small retinal vessels. The non-proliferative form is silent then blurry; the proliferative form is severe with abnormal vessels and hemorrhages. Diabetic macular edema affects central vision.
Patchy vision
Dark or blurry areas appear randomly in the visual field. Some letters of a word disappear.
Floaters
Black moving spots, threads or "flies" cross the vision. Sign of retinal hemorrhage.
Variable vision
Sharpness changes with blood sugar levels. One day you read fine, the next not at all.
Central edema
The macula thickens, blurring reading and faces - similar to AMD.
Lumyeye Pro for diabetic retinopathy

- 3Mail and prescription readingDiabetes follow-up generates paperwork; Lumyeye Pro can help read a captured document aloud, subject to image quality and OCR errors.
- 4Object identificationAsk what an object may be; confirm medical supplies and medication independently before use.

FAQ
About retinopathy and Lumyeye Pro.
Can Lumyeye Pro help with diabetic retinopathy?+
It can help with everyday reading and object questions when vision is reduced. AI and OCR can make errors, especially with medical details; it does not diagnose or guide treatment.
Can I rely on Lumyeye Pro to check insulin?+
No. Lumyeye Pro may help read visible package text, but AI and OCR can misread medication names, strengths, units and expiration dates. Do not use its answer to choose or verify an insulin dose. Confirm medication details with a pharmacist or clinician and use an accessible method they recommend.
Does Lumyeye Pro replace laser or anti-VEGF treatment?+
No. Keep your laser, intra-vitreal injections and OCT follow-up. Lumyeye Pro is a complement for daily reading and identification.
