if you have diabetes, you must have regular eye checks to detect retinopathy before your vision becomes badly affected (at least once a year is recommended). Damage to the retina at the back of the eye (retinopathy) is a common complication of diabetes. If left untreated, it can get worse and cause loss of vision, or blindness in severe cases. Good control of blood sugar (glucose) and blood pressure slows down the progression of retinopathy. Laser treatment before the retinopathy gets severe, can often prevent loss of vision.
