The most common manifestation of diabetic retinopathy is a sudden onset of blurred vision, followed by flies. The cause of flying flies is that when the vein of the retina is blocked, new blood vessels may appear on the retina. These new blood vessels are very fragile and when bursts cause bleeding inside the eye, it causes the flies to fly.
