Diabetes Complications

People who have diabetes can experience different eye problems due to the damage of blood vessels in the eyes. High blood sugar levels can lead to blurry vision or severe diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, etc. The most common eye problem for people with diabetes is Retinopathy. It damages blood vessels in the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. In the later stages, it can lead new blood vessels to grow over the retina, which will result in the development of scar tissue, and as a result, Retinal detachment might occur, which leads to blindness. Besides that, if blood vessels grow on the iris, another disease, Glaucoma, occurs. Unfortunately, diabetes is the main reason for blindness in adults. Diabetic people are 25 times more likely to get this disease and lose vision than those who don’t have diabetes.

Even though blurry vision is one of the main symptoms of different eye diseases, sometimes it can be a minor problem caused by high blood sugar. If that is the problem, you should get your blood sugar into the target range to get back to normal vision. If it doesn’t help and your eyesight worsens, you should visit a doctor as you might be facing one of the diseases mentioned above. You need different treatments and surgery for each eye disease.
