Does diabetes cause eye problems?
If you have diabetes, regular visits to your ophthalmologist for eye exams are important to avoid eye problems. High blood sugar (glucose) increases the risk of diabetes eye problems. In fact, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults age 20 to 74.

About Diabetes
Diabetes is a health condition causing high sugar content in the bloodstream because the pancreas no longer produces insulin or the cells of the body are no longer metabolizing the insulin the pancreas produces. The primary symptoms of diabetes are increased thirst, frequent urination, and high levels of sugar in the blood or urine. Other symptoms include dry mouth, irratability, unusual weight loss, and extreme hunger.
