Diabetes can also affect your vision. Diabetic eye disease is so common that it actually has a name: diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy is a disease of the retina at the back of your eye. The retina is a network of nerve ends that transfers what you see to your brain. Diabetes can affect the blood vessels in your eye, which can cause cloudy or blurry vision. Usually this will get worse if your diabetes is not under control, though it can get worse even with controlled diabetes.
For this reason, we recommend having regular vision check-ups. We can monitor your eyes and make sure that any small changes are detected that you may not even notice in your normal daily life.
If you have diabetes and would like to have your eyes examined, feel free to contact us today at 02 9982 1039.
