It's World Diabetes Day. Diabetes can impact people across all stages of life from childhood to later in life. Diabetic eye disease is caused when high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) damage the blood vessels in the retina, which can lead to leakage of fluid and blood, as well as the growth of new, abnormal blood vessels.
However, with early detection and treatment, most people with diabetic eye disease can maintain their vision. However, if left untreated, it can lead to severe vision loss or blindness.
Any concerns speak to us.
