🍃 DIABETES AND EYE HEALTH 🍃
Diabetes is a chronic disease that prevents the body from making or using insulin, which leads to high sugar levels in the bloodstream, which can affect the eye in many ways. Diabetic retinopathy is often asymptomatic in its early stages, making it a silent yet progressive threat to vision health. Timely diagnosis of diabetes is essential to minimizing the risk of complications. Delays in identifying diabetes are closely linked to a higher incidence of diabetes-related health issues, including retinopathy. Diabetes-related vision complications are a significant but preventable cause of blindness. Strong evidence supports the role of regular eye exams in reducing the burden of diabetic eye disease.
