As diabetes rises among young Indians, experts urge early eye check-ups, good sugar control, and antioxidant-rich diets to prevent diabetic retinopathy and protect long-term vision. Diabetes is becoming a major health issue in India, and it is increasingly affecting the younger population. According to the ICMR–India Diabetes 2024 study, every sixth diabetic adult in India is under the age of 40.

Diabetes, one of the most challenging health conditions that continue to be a major concern, doesn’t just affect our overall health but has a serious impact on our eyes as well. With significant risk of triggering diabetic eye disorders, diabetes, if not managed properly, can lead to significant vision loss or absolute blindness.
Read MoreDiabetic retinopathy is an eye condition caused mainly in patients with diabetes who have been suffering from this disease for a long time. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the tissue at the back of the eye (Retina). It is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries. One of the most common and major causes and risks of diabetic retinopathy is the long duration of diabetes. The small retinal blood vessels get blocked by the high concentration of sugar in the blood for a long time. In response to this, the eyes start to grow new blood vessels. But these new blood vessels are abnormal and fragile, and as a result, the blood leaks from them, causing diabetic retinopathy. However, it does not have any signs in the early stage but can only be detected by regular eye checkups. It can be treated by using different approaches if detected in time.
Read MoreIt is estimated that more than 30 million of the population are living with diabetes in India. And according to estimation, around 7.7 million people have coexistent diabetic retinopathy. That is why this is one of the most widely recognized reason for impaired vision in adults. The spread and effect of diabetic retinopathy have been expanded vastly in recent years. This condition of diabetic retinopathy is caused when wall of blood vessels in the retina get damaged by the increased level of sugar in the blood. These blood vessels can swell and leak and cause the blood flow to reduce and stop.
