Uncontrolled Diabetes Leads To Several Eye Diseases

The eye is one of the main organs affected by diabetes. Broadly speaking uncontrolled diabetes causes many eye diseases.

Diabetic retinopathy is the most well-known complication. It is also the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population.

Diabetic eye diseases also include cataract, glaucoma, optic neuropathy, erosions of the cornea, and nerve palsy.

Periodic visits to an eye specialist are essential for finding these eye diseases in their early stage and for preserving the vision.
