Diabetes: How It Impacts Your Vision

Diabetes disrupts the body’s ability to produce or use insulin effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels. Over time, this can damage blood vessels in the eyes. Often symptomless initially, blood vessel damage can cause severe vision problems if left untreated.

Diabetes-Related Eye Issues

Diabetes can lead to several eye conditions:

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Diabetic Retinopathy

A condition that occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision impairment and, if left untreated, blindness.

Swelling in the macula, a part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision.

 

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Glaucoma

Diabetes increases the risk of developing glaucoma, a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve.
