How Diabetes Impacts Eye Health

Diabetes is a metabolic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels. These elevated levels can damage various organs and tissues in the body, including the eyes. This damage can lead to a range of vision problems, making diabetes a leading cause of blindness in working-age adults.

Diabetes-Linked Eye Issues

Diabetes can lead to various eye issues, including:

Diabetic Retinopathy

Elevated blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy. This condition may not exhibit symptoms in its early stages, but as it progresses, it can cause vision impairment and even blindness.

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)

DME occurs when fluid leaks into the macula, the central part of the retina. This can result in blurred or distorted central vision, impacting daily activities like reading and driving.

Cataracts

People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing cataracts, a clouding of the eye's natural lens. Cataracts can progress more rapidly in individuals with diabetes.

Glaucoma

Diabetes increases the risk of developing glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye. This elevated pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss if left untreated.
