The macula is the centre of the retina; it gives central sight, colour and fine detail. People with diabetes may develop diabetic macular oedema (DMO). In DMO, fluid leaks from blood vessels and builds up at the macula, causing sight loss. DMO can be mild or severe; this is determined by measuring, in microns (µm), how thick the macula is. One µm is one-thousandth of a millimetre. People presenting with mild DMO (macula less than 400 µm thick; normally it is around 250 µm but varies with sex and ethnicity)…
