What does it look like to have diabetic retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy causes blank or dark spots to appear, scattered throughout your field of vision. Gray or black spots, called floaters, may begin to drift across your line of vision, especially while looking at a bright background like the sky, a computer screen, or the pages of a book.
