The photoreceptor nerve change the light rays into electrical impulses and sends them through the optic nerve to the brain where an image is perceived. The center of retina, called macula, is very sensitive and responsible for sharp vision.

There are two types of diabetes - Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes (insulin deficiency) means there is not enough insulin being produced.
