Understanding Diabetic Eye Disease is crucial for preserving your vision and overall eye health.
Diabetic Eye Disease: A Comprehensive Overview
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects the body’s ability to produce insulin for controlling blood glucose levels. Unregulated blood glucose levels can cause damage to internal organs, including the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels.
Elevated blood sugar levels can impact the small blood vessels in the eyes, potentially leading to permanent vision loss. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), proper monitoring and early detection can prevent 90% of diabetes-related vision loss.
Diabetic eye disease encompasses several eye conditions resulting from diabetes, including:
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Diabetic macular edema
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
It’s recommended that individuals with diabetes undergo comprehensive eye exams annually to detect early signs of diabetic eye disease. Additionally, taking steps to manage blooad glucose levels through a physician-guided diet and exercise plan is crucial.
What is Diabetic Eye Disease?
Various eye conditions among diabetic individuals are collectively referred to as Diabetic Eye Disease. The most prevalent form of diabetic eye disease is called Diabetic Retinopathy.

Early Detection is Key
In the early stages of Diabetic Retinopathy, there may not be any visible signs. It is why, particularly for those with Diabetes, annual eye examinations are not only recommended but necessary. By identifying the problem in time, we can provide advice and treatment plans to prevent further complications.
Recognizing the Signs
When symptoms do emerge, they might manifest as:
- Dark or black spots clouding your sight.
- Gradually increased blurry vision.
- Problems with recognizing color or contrast.
This type of bleeding in the retina results in the blocking of normal vision of images in the brain. If any of these signs sound familiar, it is important to seek our expert care immediately.
Diabetes Poses a Risk to Everyone
It is regardless, as all people who suffer from Type 1, Type 2, or Gestational Diabetes are at risk. Your longevity of the diabetic condition compounds this risk. However, good management of blood sugar is an important deterrent to the complications of vision. We also assure you and direct you back to your primary care provider, if necessary, for extra health support.

What Our Client Say
About Vision Gallery
Rachel Miller2025-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suffered so much from dry eye in the mornings that I felt like I woke up in the Sahara. I tried drops that would only work for a little while and was super inconvenient. Dr Ma recommended the OptiLight and OptiLift system for the problem. I have been doing these treatments for at least two months. My results have been amazing so far. My eyelids have lifted my face looks refreshed and I have very little to no symptoms of dry eye! These procedure has very few rules after and the results are life changing to me. It’s worth all the time and money. Andi Counts2025-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vision Gallery is fantastic!

I have been a patient here for a long time. I have very severe issues with dry eye and undergone treatment. Dr. Mahmoodpour (Dr. Mah) and her team have been amazing. The office is clean, efficient, and the medical care is the best I’ve ever seen in the industry. Their small like environment, the vast majority of insurance they accept, and the attention to customer service and quality experience is wonderful. I cannot recommend them enough! Lea Tomlinson2025-08-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Ma is the best optometrist that I have ever seen and I have seen many. She is compassionate and caring always thorough. She goes above and beyond and has showed our family that she is on top of anything she sees that is out of the ordinary during an exam. Her office staff is very kind and helpful as well. Don’t waste your time looking for an optometrist. Take it from me; go see Dr Ma ,she is the best!!

Christine was so helpful customer service was 10 out of 10! Abigail Bandali2025-08-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been coming to Dr Ma about 2 years now. She is the sweetest, most thorough eye dr I have ever been to. She takes the time needed to explain and make sure I understand everything pertaining to my plan of treatment. All of the other eye doctors I had been to gave me the test, gave me my prescription, sold me the glasses and I was out the door. After coming to Dr. Ma. I realized I had never actually had a proper eye exam. My eyes were feeling tired and strained. She did my exam and I indeed needed a new script. I was also tested for dry eye which she showed me on the screen and explained in great detail what was going on with my eyes and what the plan of treatment was going to be. After being treated for dry eye ( no, it’s not just feeling like you eyes need drops). There is a treatment therapy for this. I literally felt like I had a new pair of eyes. I can’t believe I had never been tested for that. I’ve been wearing glasses over 10 years. The staff is Exceptional. They are patient, kind, always accommodating and knowledgeable. I’m so happy I have found Dr. Ma and her staff. I will never go to another eye doctor! I walked out of there, feeling so confident that all my issues had been addressed. My eyes felt better. I love the glasses that I got and they were very patient in helping me make sure I had the right fit and everything was as it should be. If there’s anything I need or I have a question they are always available, ready to answer and assist. They definitely care about their patients and always go above and beyond to help anyway they can. I am definitely impressed and will not go anywhere else!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
