While it is widely known that people with diabetes may also suffer from other ailments such as heart disease and kidney failure, which leads to shorter lifespans, studies futher confirm a correlation between diabetes and vision impairment.

An article published in the USA Today, Diabetes Epidemic Brings Spike in Related Eye Disease, reveals data from an analysis by a group of researchers sponsored by Prevent Blindness America and the National Eye Institute. Data showed that there was an 89% increase from 2000 - 2010 in the number of people with a condition called diabetic retinopathy, in which high blood sugar causes small blood vessels to swell and leak into the retina. This causes blurred vision and can sometimes lead to blindness if not treated. A 2008 study, found that 4.2 million adults had the disease, which is largerly due to the diabetes epidemic, and is the leading cause of blindness in adults.
