A member asked:
If my 88 year old mother was just diagnosed with hyperglycemia and has blurred vision will her vision improve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diabetes and vision: Patients with diabetes mellitus often experience subjective symptoms of blurred vision associated to hyperglycemia. The nature of this phenomenon is not completely clear. Blurred vision during hyperglycemia could be a result of transient refractive alterations due to changes in the lens and in the retina . Macular edema, or retinal thickening can also impair vision in uncontrolled diabetes.
