Diabetes Can Affect Vision and/or Ocular Health

Diabetic retinopathy can usually be prevented by controlling diabetes.
If diabetic, make sure that your sugar level has been stable for 2-3 weeks before going to your eye exam, as sugar level affects your vision.
Mention all your diseases to your doctor.
Many medications cause side effects that can affect vision, or the health of the eye, so tell your doctor about all the medications you take.
