Diabetes and Its Impact on Your Vision

Diabetes is a chronic health condition characterized by high blood sugar levels, often resulting from the body’s inability to produce or utilize insulin effectively. This condition comes in several types, with Type 1 diabetes being an autoimmune disorder where the body doesn’t produce insulin, and Type 2 diabetes, more common, where the body’s cells don’t respond effectively to insulin.

Prolonged high blood sugar can damage the delicate blood vessels in your eyes, leading to various eye conditions. These conditions impair the retina’s ability to capture clear images, causing distorted, blurred, or even vision loss.

Diabetes-Related Eye Issues

Beyond its impact on blood sugar levels, diabetes can lead to various eye issues, including:
