If blood sugar is not kept under control, its effects begin to appear first in the eyes, which can become harmful to vision if timely attention is not given.
According to medical experts, prolonged high blood sugar levels not only affect the heart, kidneys, and nerves but also silently begin to damage the eyes.
Experts say that in the initial stages, there may be mild weakness in vision or difficulty in recognizing objects, but if this condition persists, the delicate blood vessels of the eyes can rupture, leading to permanent vision loss.
According to research published in the medical journal JMA, patients whose blood sugar remains high for a long period experience symptoms such as eye swelling and blurred vision, which can later develop into serious complications.
Experts state that a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle can not only help control blood sugar but also protect eye health.
Health experts have also advised that daily physical activity, complete avoidance of smoking and alcohol, and regular eye examinations are extremely important for diabetic patients, as the eyes often silently reflect the true condition of blood sugar levels.
