Diabetes

Your Eyes

Taking care of your eyes is important when you have diabetes. Having regular eye exams is important. There are different eye problems that can be caused by diabetes.

• Diabetic retinopathy

• Glaucoma

• Cataracts

• Retinal detachment (Diabetes and your eyes, n.d.).

Protect your eyes by keeping your A1C within your target range and keeping your blood pressure under control (Diabetes and your eyes, n.d.). Ask your doctor what your A1C and your blood pressure goals should be.
