What Causes Blurred Vision And Ear Ache In A Diabetic Person?
Question: I have Type 2 Diabetes with an A1 C of 7.0. I am 69 years of age and have a sudden onset of blurred vision in my left eye only with a chronic mild ear ache in my left ear I have an eye doc appointment in 48 hours but do you think the two symptoms are related in any way?
Brief Answer:
Sudden uniocular blurry vision in diabetic
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Sudden onset blurry vision in one eye in an elderly diabetic may be due to vitreous hemorrhage or a detached retina. You need to undergo ophthalmoscopy.
People with diabetes may develop Chronic external otitis, sometimes invasive otitis externa usually secondary to P. aeruginosa infection.
Ocular blurring is not related to the ear ache.
