The leading cause of blindness in the United States is complications of diabetes. Diabetes can cause bleeding and swelling in the eyes that often begins without symptoms. Early detection and treatment is essential in preventing permanent vision loss. Annual eye exams are required to screen for diabetic eye disease.
