A potential complication of having diabetes is developing diabetic eye disease — a group of eye conditions that include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. Diabetic eye disease can cause vision loss and blindness but often goes unnoticed until vision is affected. Early detection and treatment is essential to protect against vision loss.  People with diabetes should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year.

Protecting Your Vision for the Long Term

Remember, with proper care and regular check-ups, you can significantly reduce your risk of diabetes-related vision loss. Don’t wait until you notice vision changes – early detection is key to preserving your sight.
