How DIABETES cause BLINDNESS?
Glaucoma: increased eye pressure that damages the optic nerve
Changes of blood vessels in the retina causing them to bleed or fluid leak
New blood vessels: Unhealthy new vessels can grow, increasing bleeding risk
Macular damage, affecting the sharp central vision

SCHEDULE YOUR EYE EXAM
Regular eye examinations are essential for the early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, especially for individuals with diabetes or those at higher risk.
If you have diabetes, it is recommended to have comprehensive eye exams at least once a year or as advised by your eye care professional.
