Diabetes can lead to 4 main eye conditions
Diabetic macular edema
This can only occur in the presence of diabetic retinopathy, and is swelling in the macular area of the retina caused by an increase in eye fluid. This leads to vision becoming blurred.
Diabetic retinopathy
It is caused by damage to light-sensitive tissue at the back of the retina.
Blood sugar control and lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking can reduce the chances of developing diabetic retinopathy.
Glaucoma
People with diabetes have a 5% chance of developing glaucoma, in contrast to a 2% risk for non-diabetics.
Diabetes can raise blood pressure, and high blood pressure is a risk factor for glaucoma.
Cataract
Diabetics are 2 – 5 times more likely to suffer from cataracts than the general population.
