In this situation, the eyesight gradually starts decreasing. The special thing is that this problem is not only limited to diabetes patients, but this danger can be seen even in healthy people who take more sweet. Due to increasing blood sugar levels for a long time, pressure is created on the eyes and the eye starts to affect. Therefore, it is necessary to keep control of sweet amounts so that the eyes can remain healthy.
Dr. AK Grover, former HOD of the department in Sir Gangaram Hospital According to, eating more sweet can make it difficult to identify the effects on the eyes in the beginning, but gradually its symptoms start coming up. The most common symptom is blurred appearance. In addition, a person may see black spots or floatrs in front of the eyes.

Some people have trouble reading or watching mobile screens. If the level of sugar continues to increase, then there may be pressure and pain in the eyes. All these symptoms indicate the weakness of sight and diabetic retinopathy. On receiving such signs, the doctor of the eye should be checked immediately, so that treatment can be started in time.
How can eating more sweet can harm the eyes?
According to research by the National Library of Medicine, when the level of sugar in the body increases, it directly affects the retina of the eyes. The small blood vessels present in the retina become weak due to excess sugar. Due to this, they start swelling and sometimes blood or fluid starts leaking. Gradually this condition turns into diabetic retinopathy, in which eye lights are affected.
By taking more sweet continuously, the retina does not get enough oxygen, making new unusual blood vessels. These ducts are delicate and blood can freeze in the eyes when broken. The result is the danger of blurred eye or blindness. Sugar can also affect eye lenses, which causes cataracts to quickly. In this case, sugar should be consumed in limited quantity.

Make sure to check the eyes at least once a year.
