People with diabetes are more likely to develop blinding eye diseases. These diseases include glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Many Americans may not be protecting themselves against diabetes-related vision loss. There is also a low awareness of diabetic vision issues among ethnicities that are at a higher risk for diabetes.
