Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetes impacts many systems of the body, including your eyes. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness in American adults. This disease is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. As with many eye diseases, they progress slowly and patients often don’t notice them.

Dry Eye
When your eyes don’t produce tears properly, the surface of the eye may become inflamed due to dry eye. If left untreated, this condition can lead to ulcers, or scars on the cornea, and some vision loss.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease that attacks the optic nerve and can result in vision loss and blindness. When the fluid inside the eye rises, it creates pressure and begins damaging the optic nerve.

The retina is a tissue inside of the eye that sends visual messages through the optic nerve. It’s a light-sensitive layer of tissue that when detached, it is pulled from its normal position. If left untreated, it can cause permanent vision loss.
