18 Your Eyes and Diabetes Eye Problems. Diabetes can cause blurred vision if your blood sugar level goes up and down. When your blood sugar goes up and down, it makes the lens in your eye swell or shrink. This means your vision may be blurry at one time, and clear at another time. If this happens, you need to get your sugar levels under control before changing the lenses in your glasses. People with diabetes may also get cataracts more often and at a younger age. Worse eye problems can begin when diabetes affects the small blood vessels in the retina at the back of your eye. New blood vessels start to grow but they are not normal and can leak or bleed. This causes blurred vision if the blood vessels leak fluid into the retina near the macula (the part of the retina that gives you central vision) or if they bleed into the vitreous. The vitreous is the clear gel- like liquid that fills the back part of the eye. This leaking and bleeding can cause very poor vision and even blindness. Preventing Eye Problems. There are many research studies showing that people have fewer longterm problems from diabetes when their treatment keeps blood sugar levels normal or near normal. Keeping your blood sugar level normal helps prevent all the long- term problems of diabetes, not just eye problems. High blood pressure (even if it s only a little high) or high LDL cholesterol levels can also make you more likely to have long-term problems with your eyes, heart, blood flow (circulation), and kidneys. A blood test called a hemoglobin A1C (HgA1C) is a measure of your average blood sugar level over the past three months. It should be less than 7% in most cases to help keep you and your eyes healthy. Your blood pressure should be 130/80 or lower. Your LDL cholesterol should be below 100. If you do not know your HgA1C, blood pressure, or LDL cholesterol, talk to your primary care provider. The best way to keep your eyes healthy is by taking good care of yourself - so follow the ABC s of Diabetes. A1C - less than 7% Blood pressure - 130/80 or below Cholesterol - LDL less than 100 Treating Eye Problems. It is important to see your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) at least once a year. Your eye doctor can tell by looking at the retina in the back of your eye if you are beginning to have eye problems from your diabetes. If eye problems do start, early treatment with a laser can help keep the problems from getting worse. Your eye doctor will use a laser to treat the retina. This helps keep new vessels from growing. It also helps stop leaking or bleeding from new vessels that may already be there. If bleeding from new blood vessels is very bad, you may need surgery to remove the vitreous and blood from the back of the eye (a vitrectomy). This surgery will help clear your vision and help prevent blood clots. Blood clots can pull the retina away from the back of the eye (a retinal tear or detachment) and cause very poor vision or even blindness. Your Diabetes Team. Diabetes is a chronic problem. That means it will never go away, but you can control it. We can help you take care of your eyes, and we want to help you and the rest of your Diabetes Team keep your diabetes under good control. Your primary care provider should be your first source of help. You may also need help from a registered nurse, dietician, diabetes educator, foot doctor, or another specialist. They can all help you, but you are the only one who can take charge of your day-to-day care you are the leader of your Diabetes Team. You should keep all your appointments with your primary care provider. He or she can help you control your diabetes, blood pressure, and LDL cholesterol. Keeping your ABC s low will help prevent eye problems and blindness. Ask your primary care provider about your ABC s and write them here to show Dr. Goldblum at your next visit.
