Diabetes, if uncontrolled, can cause irreversible blindness. This
condition affects small blood vessels, which are found in the fingers,
toes, and eyes.

If your eye doctor thinks you have a problem, we will refer you to the
appropriate retinal specialist for treatment. To lower your risk of diabetic
retinal diseases, schedule your comprehensive
dilated eye exam every year, and try to control your
blood sugar.
