Recognize the history in order to act promptly

In diabetics, changes to the vessels in the back of the eye may occur, which are subtle at first, but are of great importance for the diabetologist to monitor the course of the disease. As the disease progresses, these changes can lead to serious problems for the eyes and vision.
Bleeding, new vascular formation and swelling may occur. In such cases, appropriate treatment is required, which may include laser therapy or eye surgery , depending on the findings.

Recognizing eye problems in diabetes mellitus

Possible symptoms of eye diseases in people with diabetes mellitus can manifest themselves as follows:

Problems reading small print or recognizing details.


Deterioration of vision, especially near or at dusk.


Sudden “flashes” or “shadows” in the field of vision.


Distorted or blurred vision, especially in the central field of vision.


Dryness or increased watering of the eyes, eye pain or redness.

Frequently asked questions about eye diseases and diabetes mellitus

Inadequately controlled diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar levels can increase the risk of diabetic eye disease. Regular check-ups are therefore particularly important in order to identify possible risk factors at an early stage.

Diabetic retinopathy is diagnosed via a thorough eye examination. The ophthalmologist examines the fundus of the eye for changes in the blood vessels and other characteristic signs of this disease.

Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the eye, leading to changes called diabetic retinopathy. Long-term high blood sugar levels are a crucial factor in the development of this condition.

Consistent monitoring of blood sugar levels, regular eye exams, and a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of diabetic eye disease. Early intervention can prevent complications.

The ophthalmologist examines the fundus of the eye, measures the intraocular pressure, tests visual acuity and checks the retina for changes. A comprehensive examination enables the early detection of eye diseases.

Treatment for diabetic retinopathy may include laser therapy, intravitreal injections , or, if necessary, surgery . The choice of therapy depends on the severity of the disease and is determined individually.

Unfortunately, diabetes-related eye diseases are widespread. It is therefore important to perform regular eye examinations in order to be able to react early to changes in the eye and to protect vision.
