Is Blurred Vision With Hoarse Voice In A Diabetic Patient Cause For Concern?

A diabetic. Age 50 male. All of a sudden for last 3 days, unable to read anything close, especially small letters. For examples, cannot read the notifications on the cell phone. Especially on the left eye feels like there is something bluring the vision. Was told the feeling is like if the pupils are dialated.For the past 3 days, he is also having flu like symptom with flem and voice change.Should he be worried?

Hello
I have gone through your question and understood your concern.

Chronically high blood sugar from diabetes is associated with damage to the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to a chronic complication of diabetes called diabetic eye disease or diabetic retinopathy.The risk of diabetic eye disease increases the longer a person has diabetes.The disease often progresses unnoticed until it affects vision.

Rapid tightening of blood glucose control leads to transient deterioration of diabetic retinopath.In my opinion this can be a potential cause of his sudden visual problems.

Anyway i suggest to consult an ophtalmologist for a comprehensive dilated eye exam for the right diagnose and treatement.

Hope this information is helpful.
