Diabetologist 's  Response
DEAR SIR/MADAM

DIABETES PATIENTS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH SO MANY EYE PROBLEMS. SOME TIMES YOU MIGHT NOT APPRECIATE THE LOSS OF VISION, LIKE GLAUCOMA WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED INTRA OCULAR PRESSURE.
I SUGGEST YOU TO VISIT AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST AND GET AN IOP CHECKED ALONG WITH FUNDUS EXAMINATION. IT MIGHT REVEAL LOT OF THINGS.
