Diabetes can affect the eyes silently and may lead to serious vision problems if not detected and treated early. High blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels of the retina, causing diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. Fortunately, many diabetic eye complications can be prevented with timely care.
Maintaining good control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol is essential for protecting your vision. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and adherence to prescribed medications play an important role in reducing the risk of eye damage. Even if your vision seems normal, a comprehensive dilated eye examination at least once a year is strongly recommended for every person with diabetes.
Early detection allows treatment before significant vision loss occurs. Modern diagnostic tools and treatment options can help preserve sight and improve long-term eye health.
