Diabetes complications also include vision problems. This is because damage to small blood vessels is common in diabetics. Once the blood vessels become inflamed, blood flow to the eyes is reduced, leading to a disorder called retinopathy that may eventually lead to blindness.
It is, therefore, crucial that you see an ophthalmologist for a regular eye examination, at least once a year.
It is important to visit your doctor if;
• Your vision is blurred
• You feel pressure in your eyes
• Your eyes have turned red
• You have watering eyes
• You see flashes of light
• You see dark spots
