Diabetes
If you have diabetes, regular visits to your eye doctor for vision exams are important to avoid serious visual problems. High blood sugar increases the risk of negative retinopathy inside the eyes. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults age 20 to 74 and everyone can be at risk.
If you are experiencing a diabetic crisis, do not buy a new pair of glasses as soon as you notice you have blurred vision. It is most likely caused by changes to your natural lens anatomy due to high blood sugar levels. High blood sugar in diabetes makes the lens fiber layers of the eye swell, which then changes your ability to see. To correct this kind of eye problem, you need to get your blood sugar back into the normal target range (70-130 milligrams per deciliter or mg/dL fasting). It may take as long as three months for your vision to fully return to a more normal state.Remember blurred vision can also signify and implicate many other kinds of ocular health illnesses.
People with diabetes may develop early development of cataracts, glaucoma, and abnormal retinopathy.
