Diabetic Eye Center Home Page Diabetes remains a leading cause of blindness. Each year, more than 40,000 Americans lose their sight to diabetes, and hundreds of thousands more suffer some degree of visual impairment. And the longer you have diabetes, the greater your chances of developing the complications of diabetic eye disease.
Diabetic blindness is usually preventable, with early diagnosis and treatment.
