👁 How Does Diabetes Affect Vision?
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the eye, leading to diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, or early cataracts. These changes can cause:
Blurred or patchy vision
Fluctuating clarity throughout the day
Difficulty with reading and close-up work
Night blindness or glare sensitivity
Challenges with balance and mobility
These vision problems may come on gradually or suddenly — but they don’t mean giving up on independence.
