Abstract

Diabetes can lead to many systemic complications that include the nervous and renal systems. The vision of individuals with diabetes may be affected psychophysically, as noted with changes in dark adaptation, contrast sensitivity, glare recovery, color vision, and visual acuity. The primary ocular complication of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy-one of the leading causes of blindness in American adults.
