How Does Diabetes Impact the Health of Your Eyes?

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. While it primarily affects your body’s ability to regulate glucose, its repercussions extend to various organs, including your eyes. High blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels within your retina, leading to various conditions. The longer diabetes goes uncontrolled, the higher the risk of eye complications.

Eye Conditions Linked to Diabetes

Diabetic eye disease can lead to severe vision problems and even blindness. They include:

This condition involves damage to the blood vessels in the retina and is the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults.

Swelling in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision, can lead to vision loss.

People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing cataracts, a clouding of the eye's natural lens.

Diabetes can increase the risk of glaucoma, a condition characterized by elevated intraocular pressure, which can damage the optic nerve.
