How Diabetes Affects the Eyes
Persistently high blood sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels inside the eye, particularly those supplying the retina. Over time, this damage may lead to conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular involvement, and other vision-threatening complications.
Regular eye examinations play a critical role in identifying changes before vision is affected.

Structured Evaluation for Accurate Monitoring
Dr. Arushi Garg performs comprehensive diabetic eye assessments that include retinal examination and appropriate imaging when required. These evaluations help detect subtle changes that may not cause symptoms initially.
