Diabetes and your eyes
|
The best way to prevent the development of diabetic retinopathy is to keep your blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure under control. Regular checkups with your medical doctor, exercise and a healthy diet are also important.
Successful treatment of diabetic eye conditions depends greatly on your willingness to participate fully in your care. Regular eye exams are critical to maintaining vision. It is much easier to prevent vision loss from diabetes than to restore sight after it is lost. If you notice a reduction in vision, or an increase in the number of new floaters (the small specks or cobwebby stands that move into your field of vision), schedule an evaluation at Retina Health Center immediately.
