A member asked:
Can you tell me how hyperglycemia cause blurred vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swelling: Hi. Yes, hyperglycemia causes swelling in the eyes and alters the distance of the light path from the lens to the retina, which causes blurring. Note that this is NOT diabetic retinopathy, and this blurring will improve over time as the glucose is normalized with treatment.
