Patient's question:
The doctor has had diabetes for about a year and now notices that their vision is a bit blurry, as if the diabetes has caused a decline in eyesight. Now, they have to move very close to see things clearly. The eyes also feel sore and dry. They want to know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Diabetic vision loss requires timely and thorough early examination. In most cases, diabetes can lead to cataracts or retinal bleeding. If symptoms similar to these appear, early treatment is necessary, and an ophthalmologist should be consulted for a thorough examination to determine if surgery is required. Additionally, it is important to prevent localized infections. Patients with high blood sugar are preferably managed with insulin to control blood glucose levels.
