What Does Diabetes Do to Your Eyes ?

[San Elizario]

I got some vision problems since I have diabetes. Can you tell me what does diabetes do to our eyes? Is there any way to help solve the vision problems?

The people who have diabetes are twice as likely to develop glaucoma as those non diabetics. Diabetic retinopathy is the primary vision problems caused by diabetes, which is the leading cause of blindness and low vision in adults. Diabetic retinopathy means that the diabetes will cause damage to the retina.

I know that diabetic can lead to blurred or double vision. The diabetic patients may suffer from floating spots or a veil, streaks or cloud of red in the field of vision. But I think if you treat your diabetes, your vision problems will be less serious. I suggest you to visit your ophthalmologist regularly. You can have your blood sugar maintained for high blood sugar may increase the risk of diabetes eye problems.

You may have heard that diabetes causes eye problems and may lead to blindness. People with diabetes do have a higher risk of blindness than people without diabetes. But most people who have diabetes have nothing more than minor eye disorders.
