Top 12 Indicators You Likely Have Diabetes
#11. Blurry Vision
Diabetes causes blurry vision because your eyes depend on the fluid within and around them to function properly. A dehydrated lens warps and struggles to focus. This condition often resolves upon proper diabetes management. However, left unchecked, diabetes also causes nerve damage. When new vessels in the back of the eye attempt to form over damaged vessels, it can lead to permanent blindness.
Other Causes of Blurry Vision:
- refractive errors, such as near-sightedness, far-sightedness, or astigmatism.
- abrasions to the cornea.
- age-related macular degeneration.
- cataracts.
- corneal opacification, or scarring.
- infectious retinitis.
- migraine.
- optic neuritis.
