Hi, I had gone through you query and understood your concerns.
In diabetes, when blood glucose, or blood sugar levels are too high. Over time, this can damage your eyes. The most common problem is diabetic retinopathy.
Blood vessels are affected in this. If diagnosed early and taken care this could be prevented. But when completely effected they can be seen only after surgery.
Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
