People with pre-diabetes or diabetes have a higher risk of eye problems – but getting your eyes checked once a year can help protect your vision.
Joe Nazarian from Nazarian Optometrists in Blacktown, proud partner of the Western Sydney Diabetes Alliance.
Eye problems can include:
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Diabetic Macular Oedema
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
Watch out for warning signs like:
- Blurry vision
- Difficulty seeing in the dark
- Spots or flashes in your vision
- Sensitivity to light
- Any sudden changes in eyesight
Don’t wait for symptoms. Book a yearly eye check with your optometrist or eye doctor – it’s quick, easy, and helps keep your eyes healthy.
