Hello,
One of the most important and major complication of long standing uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension is RETINOPATHY.
Your symptoms could be due to that.
You must immediately consult a ophthalmologist and get yourself checked.
Uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension results in various types of damages in almost all organs of body.
Along with your eyes,get a complete check up also done by your physician.
Make it a point to keep your blood pressure,diabetes and blood lipids levels under perfect control and employ all means for thar which includes regular medications,proper dietary control and regular exercises.
Thanks
