How High Blood Sugar Damages Retina Blood Vessels and Affects Vision - Dr Santosh Bhide

High blood sugar levels can have a significant impact on your eye health, particularly the blood vessels in the retina. Over time, uncontrolled blood sugar can cause damage to these vessels, leading to diabetic retinopathy, a condition that can threaten your vision.

In this video, Dr Santosh Bhide, Senior Consultant & Eye Surgeon at Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, explains how high blood sugar directly affects the blood vessels in the retina.

He discusses how elevated glucose levels cause the blood vessels to leak or become blocked, impairing the retina's ability to send clear signals to the brain. This damage can result in blurry vision, dark spots, or even permanent vision loss if left untreated.

Dr Bhide also emphasizes the importance of managing blood sugar levels to prevent or slow the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Watch the video to learn how protecting your blood vessels can help safeguard your vision.
