Myth or Fact: Prediabetes does not cause Diabetic Eye Disease. This is a MYTH! 😱

While prediabetes may not cause matured Diabetic Retinopathy, the elevated blood sugars can still cause microscopic changes inside the eye. These changes will occur in the capillaries or the tiny blood vessels in the eye. 👁️ These microscopic changes can build up over time and lead to diabetic retinopathy.

If you have prediabetes, it is important to attend your annual eye exams to check if you are at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy.
