What is Diabetes and How Does It Impact Eye Health?

Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels, which, if unmanaged, can lead to various complications. Elevated sugar levels can damage the delicate blood vessels in the retina, causing diabetic retinopathy and other eye issues. Additionally, diabetes increases the risk of cataracts and glaucoma, emphasizing the importance of regular eye exams and proactive care for those with diabetes.
