Lose Sight of Diabetic Eye Disease Approximately 10.5 million people with diagnosed diabetes have some
form of diabetic eye disease. In fact, if you have diabetes, you're at
increased risk for blindness. So, at least once a year, get a dilated eye
examination in which drops are used to enlarge your pupils. This allows
your eye care professional to see more of the inside of your eye to check
for diabetic eye disease.
