Fri, 14 Oct 2022
High blood sugar levels can increase the possibility of adverse effects on blood vessel health. In addition, diabetes can also interfere with the work of the nervous system and blood vessels in the eyes. For this reason, diabetic patients have a higher chance of developing various eye diseases compared to normal people.
Patients with diabetes who experience disorders of the eye blood vessels are characterized by swelling, lack of oxygen intake and changes in the structure of the blood vessels. This condition is also accompanied by an inflammatory reaction in the eye. In advanced conditions, the patient also has a risk of developing retinal detachment.
According to various studies, Diabetes has a high probability of developing various eye complications, such as: Cataracts, Glaucoma, disorders of the nerves to move the eyes, prone to inflammation of the eyelids and diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, it is very important for diabetics to pay attention to eye health.

2. Pay attention to the consumption of sweet foods
3. Always monitor blood sugar levels
4. No smoking
5. Routine eye checks
