How Diabetes Affects the Eyes?

If you have diabetes, you are at higher risk of developing certain eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts. Although there may be no symptoms early on, as the disease progresses, diabetic retinopathy symptoms may include:

​

• Spots, dots or cobweb-like strings floating in your vision (called floaters);

• Blurred vision;

• Vision that changes periodically from blurry to clear;

• Blank or dark areas in your field of vision;

• Poor night vision;

• Colors appear washed out or different;

• Vision loss.
