Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye problems that people with diabetes may face as a complication of the disease. Diabetic eye diseases may include:
- Diabetic retinopathy (most common)
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
Because diabetes can lead to various eye conditions, there are several different symptoms you should watch for. Some of the most common symptoms of diabetic eye disease may include:
- Floaters
- Blurry or cloudy vision
- Drastic change in vision in one or both eyes
- Blindness
The only way to detect diabetic eye disease is through a comprehensive dilated eye exam.
