15 Signs That You May Have Diabetes

5. Blurry Vision

Healthline

Diabetes can have both short-term and long-term effects on a patient’s eyes. This includes a blurry vision, which can range from subtle to intense. Short-term blurriness may be caused by fluids moving in and out of the eye, which results from high blood sugar levels. A rise in blood sugar can also make the lens of the eye swell, which can also cause blurriness. Low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, can also result in short-term blurriness. On the other hand, long-term blurriness can occur if diabetes is left uncontrolled. Unregulated high blood sugar levels can damage small blood vessels over time, leading to problems with the eye’s retina, which may result in blurry vision.
