Blurry Vision

Diabetic retinopathy is the main cause of blindness among working-age adults. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage blood vessels in the retina. Damaged blood vessels could potentially expand and leak, resulting in blurred vision, which typically affects both eyes. The longer you have diabetes, the more likely you are to develop this condition. If you start to notice a distortion in your vision, such as blurriness, have your eyes looked at as soon as possible. The earlier you are treated, the better the provided treatment will work. People with diabetes are more prone to get cataracts at a younger age. One reason is that excessive blood sugar levels can cause deposits to accumulate in the lenses, making them blurred.
