Eye care tips and diabetes.

The effect of diabetes is high blood sugar. This happens when the body cannot produce enough insulin. Diabetes must be treated properly otherwise it can affect your vision.  Sporadic difficulty focusing, and blurry vision are signs of possible diabetes. If not properly treated, diabetes will affect your eye health and vision and can also increase glaucoma and cataracts. When diabetes effects vision it is known as “diabetic retinopathy.”  Blood vessels that feed the retina become weak and leak blood or fluid, this causes the retina to swell.

Later on, new abnormal vessels, that are weak, tear. Scar tissue forms; this scar tissue can tear the retina and can cause the retina to detach, leading to blindness. Anyone who has a diabetes should have their eyes examined every year by an eye care professional such as an Ophthalmologist or Optometrist. You want to make sure to practice good eye care and not to take any chances with your eye health. Always visit a licensed optician optical store for best results.
