Could diabetes be affecting your eyes without you knowing it?

Diabetes can affect more than your blood sugar. Over time, high blood sugar can damage the blood vessels in the retina and lead to diabetic retinopathy.

One reason it can be difficult to detect is that it may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages.
⚠️ Blurred vision
⚠️ Floaters
⚠️ Dark spots
⚠️ Difficulty seeing clearly

If you have diabetes, regular eye examinations can help detect changes early and protect your vision.

Don’t wait for vision problems to appear. Make eye care part of your overall diabetes care.

Have you had your eyes checked recently?

If the object is embedded in the eye, or if you experience persistent pain, redness, blurred vision, or other concerning symptoms, seek prompt medical attention.
