Diabetes is far more than a blood sugar condition it can quietly change your vision without you even realising it.
In this reel, Dr. Mounika Bolisetty explains why India, being the diabetes capital of the world, must take diabetic eye health seriously.
Diabetes can slowly weaken the tiny blood vessels in the retina, speed up cataract progression, and lead to conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and even advanced neovascular glaucoma.
These issues often start silently blurred vision, floaters, or gradual sight loss and many patients don’t notice anything until the damage becomes significant.
That’s why regular eye check-ups are crucial for diabetes patients. Early detection protects vision and helps keep the eyes healthy for years to come.
