Overview

Diabetic eye disease is a common complication of diabetes that can lead to serious vision problems if left untreated. Early symptoms often include blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, floaters, and sudden vision changes.

Unfortunately, these symptoms may go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred, making it crucial for people with diabetes to undergo regular eye exams.

In this video, Dr Santosh Bhide, Senior Consultant & Eye Surgeon at Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, explains the early symptoms of diabetic eye disease and how patients can recognize them.

Dr Bhide discusses how high blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to conditions like diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma. He also shares insights on the importance of early detection, managing blood sugar levels, and the steps patients can take to protect their vision.

Dr Bhide emphasizes that regular eye check-ups and timely medical intervention are key to preventing long-term vision loss. Watch the video to learn how recognizing these early symptoms can help you maintain healthy vision and avoid complications from diabetic eye disease.
