Do you have diabetes? You need an eye check-up today! Did you know that over 3 million Indians are living with sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy, often without any obvious symptoms. #WorldDiabetesDay reminds us that diabetes doesn’t just affect your body, it can also affect your eyes. Here are the many ways your diabetes can affect your eye sight: Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to the tiny blood vessels of the retina, leading to bleeding, scarring, and eventual vision loss. This is the most common diabetic eye disease. Diabetic Macular Edema (DME): Swelling in the macula (central part of the retina) from fluid leakage, causing blurred or distorted central vision. Cataracts: Clouding of the eye’s lens, occurring earlier and more often in diabetic patients than in others. Glaucoma: Increased eye pressure that damages the optic nerve, with diabetes roughly doubling the risk of developing this condition. Diabetic Papillopathy: Swelling of the optic nerve head, less common but linked to diabetes. Ocular Surface Diseases: Dry eye and other surface problems can also occur more frequently in diabetic patients. Remember: • Many of these problems don’t show symptoms early on. • Regular eye check-ups help catch issues before they get serious. • Keeping blood sugar levels in control can protect your eyes.
