Eye damage is not uncommon among diabetics.That is why we are advised to to go for half yearly check up with an opthalamologist,particularly to see if any damage has taken place due to diabetic retinopathy. Luckily,now we have laser treatment for most of the problems.Please therefore,visit an eye doctor.But you have to also control your sugar levels to prevent further damage.

What did the doctor say about retinopathy?Has he ruled out cataract and glaucoma?I am also more or less in the same boat.My problem is light scattering during night driving.

Check for diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and cataract.

Consult an ophthalmologist and review your case once in every 6 months.
