If you have diabetes and develop any of the following symptoms, check in with an eye care professional:

• Your vision becomes blurry.
• You have trouble reading signs or books.
• You see double.
• One or both of your eyes hurt.
• Your eyes get red and stay that way.
• You feel pressure in your eye.
• You see spots or floaters.
• Straight lines do not look straight.
• You can't see things at the sides as you used to.

Retinopathy can develop without symptoms—which is why regular exams are important.
