The Impact of Diabetes on Vision and Eye Health

Diabetes, a metabolic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, can significantly impact your vision and overall eye health. High blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. As a result, the retina may swell, leak fluid, or develop abnormal blood vessels. It’s important for individuals with diabetes to prioritize regular eye exams, as early detection and timely intervention can help prevent or manage diabetes-related eye issues.

The Diabetes-Eye Connection: Risks and Realities

Individuals with diabetes face an increased risk of various eye conditions, including:

This condition involves damage to the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision impairment or even blindness if left untreated.

Swelling of the macula, the retina’s central part, can occur, further compromising your central vision.

People with diabetes are more likely to develop cataracts, clouding the eye's natural lens and impacting vision.

Diabetes can increase the risk of glaucoma, characterized by increased intraocular pressure and potential vision loss.

Diabetes can affect the function of the eye's tear glands, leading to dry eye syndrome.

Diabetes can impact blood circulation throughout the body, including the small blood vessels that nourish the eyes. Reduced blood flow can lead to retinal damage and contribute to diabetic eye conditions.
