Have you ever noticed tiny dots, strands, or cobweb-like shapes drifting through your vision? These are called floaters, and they are one of the most common vision complaints. Most floaters are associated with normal changes inside the eye. However, a sudden increase in floaters, especially when accompanied by flashes of light or a shadow in your vision, may require prompt medical attention.

Clear vision does not always mean diabetes has left the eyes unaffected. Changes to the retina can begin before noticeable vision problems develop. Routine dilated eye exams allow these changes to be identified and monitored as early as possible.

Healthy vision starts with more than regular eye exams. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, and vitamins A, C, and E can help support long-term eye health. A balanced diet filled with colorful fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, and whole foods benefits your eyes as well as your overall health.

Getting back to the activities you love after an eye injury or surgery is exciting, but it's important to give your eyes the time they need to heal. Every recovery is different, and returning to sports or other physical activities too soon can increase the risk of complications.
