Blurred or double vision: Blurry vision is one of the first signs of diabetes. High sugar levels can end up damaging the tiny blood vessels of the eyes and affecting the retina.
Floaters: Spontaneous bleeding in the eyes as a result of diabetic retinopathy can cause the appearance of spots of floaters. High sugar levels cause the blood vessels to leak fluids into the lens, making it seem like there are floating spots in front of your eyes.
Spots: Diabetes literally makes you see spots in front of your eyes. This could be caused by the capillaries bleeding into vitreous humour of the eyes.
Flashes and lights: Diabetics report seeing flashes or lightning streaks in their field of vision, which interferes with day-to-day activities. This is also caused by the vitreous fluid rubbing against the retina.
Blurred vision in the corners of the eyes: Apart from causing blurred vision, diabetic retinopathy also affects peripheral vision.
Blind spots: People suffering from diabetic retinopathy sometimes notice a pigmented spot in their field of vision. It is a result of diabetes induced macular degeneration. The spot of dark colour can obstruct their vision, which makes it difficult for them to make judgements of size.
Pain in the eyes: Diabetes-induced glaucoma causes the build-up of pressure inside the eyes, which causes pain in eyes and headache.
