Why eye problems develop

Diabetic Retinopathy
High blood sugar (diabetes) can damage the tiny blood vessels that nourish sensitive parts of your body, including the light-sensing portion of your retina. People whose blood sugar remains uncontrolled may develop retinopathy, in which these light-sensing cells die off and overgrowth of other blood vessels leads to scarring and increased pressure in the eye. Left unchecked, diabetic retinopathy can lead to blindness.
Anyone with diabetes can develop diabetic retinopathy. Smokers and those with high blood pressure are at greater risk. Diabetic retinopathy can be detected through regular eye examinations. Because the damage is cumulative, gaining control of blood sugar levels can stop the damage before it leads to blindness.
Any sudden vision changes should prompt a call to a healthcare professional.
