Macular Oedema : fluid builds up in a part of the retina called macula which is responsible for straight-vision needed for reading, writing, identifying faces etc.
Cataracts : the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy. Diabetics patients are 3 to 4 times more likely to develop cataracts
Glaucoma : pressure builds up on the optic nerve connecting the eye to the brain and can damage it causing permanent vision loss.
The easiest way to save yourself from any eye damage from diabetes is to ensure that your sugar levels strictly stay within the expected range i.e. proper management of diabetes. The other steps you can take are:

- blank, dark or floating spots in vision
- trouble seeing out of the corner of your eye
- any sudden change in your vision.
