Seven Ways To Protect Eyesight

 

Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults aged 20 to 74, which means sufferers should take steps to protect their eyesight.

Here are seven ways diabetics can help keep their eyesight in check:

  • Schedule regular appointments with your eye doctor so that any eye problem can be detected early and treated.
  • Maintain control of your blood glucose levels.
  • Keep your blood pressure in control. High blood pressure by itself can lead to eye disease, so if you have high blood pressure as well as diabetes, it is especially important that you take steps to control both conditions.
  • Get your blood cholesterol levels under control.
  • Eat a healthy diet.
  • Avoid smoking.
  • Exercise regularly.
