Symptoms of Diabetic Eye Diseases

Diabetic eye diseases can manifest through various symptoms, including blurry vision, floaters, and dark spots. Patients may also experience vision fluctuations or sudden vision loss. Early symptoms can be subtle, so regular eye examinations are essential for early detection. If you have diabetes, monitoring your eye health is crucial to preventing severe complications that could lead to permanent vision impairment.

Risk Factors for Diabetic Eye Diseases

People with diabetes, especially those with poorly controlled blood sugar levels, are at risk of diabetic eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy. Long-term diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol levels increase the likelihood of eye damage. Risk factors also include smoking, pregnancy, and obesity, which can accelerate the progression of diabetic eye complications, potentially leading to vision loss if left untreated.

Causes of Diabetic Eye Diseases

Diabetic eye diseases are primarily caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels, which damage the blood vessels in the retina. The leading cause is uncontrolled diabetes, with contributing factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol. Chronic hyperglycemia leads to fluid leaks, retinal swelling, and tissue damage, eventually resulting in diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, or vision loss if not effectively managed.
