Not so high High Park at 111.71 metres above sea level. How about Casa Loma, its name derived from the Spanish, a pretend castle high on a hill serving as a kitschy tourist destination with spectacular views? Or something close to that, anyway. Downer alert: the towering landmark is a mere 150.32 metres above sea level.If we were going to get really high in Toronto, accurate coordinates were needed. As any seasoned mountaineer would, we consulted the internet. Not surprising, there was a mountain of inaccurate data.owner alert: the towering landmark is a mere 150.32 metres above sea level.

Diabetic retinopathy involves changes to retinal blood vessels that can cause them to bleed or leak fluid, distorting vision. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of vision loss among people with diabetes and a leading cause of blindness among working-age adults. DME is a consequence of diabetic retinopathy that causes swelling in the area of the retina called the macula.
Over time, too much sugar in your blood can lead to the blockage of the tiny blood vessels that nourish the retina, cutting off its blood supply. As a result, the eye attempts to grow new blood vessels. But these new blood vessels don't develop properly and can leak easily. There are two types of diabetic retinopathy: Early diabetic retinopathy. In this more common form â called nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) â new blood vessels aren't growing (proliferating). When you have NPDR, the walls of the blood vessels in your retina weaken. Tiny bulges (microaneurysms) protrude from the vessel walls of the smaller vessels, sometimes leaking fluid and blood into the retina. Larger retinal vessels can begin to dilate and become irregular in diameter, as well.
