You can protect your vision and lower your chance for vision loss with these steps:
Get a dilated eye exam at least once a year so your eye doctor can spot any problems early when they’re most treatable.
Keep your blood sugar levels in your target range as much as possible. Over time, high blood sugar not only damages blood vessels in your eyes, it can also affect the shape of your lenses and make your vision blurry.
Keep your blood pressure and cholesterol levels in your target range to lower your risk for eye diseases and vision loss. Also good for your health in general!
Quit smoking. Quitting lowers your risk for diabetes-related eye diseases and improves your health in many other ways too.
Get active. Physical activity protects your eyes and helps you manage diabetes.
