Ask on WhatsAppPeople with diabetes are more prone to eye problems, whether in the retina or the nerves controlling eye movement, and uncontrolled diabetes complications can lead to strabismus. The clearest signs of diabetes affecting the eye are double or blurred vision and disturbed perception of objects; neglecting diabetes treatment can ultimately lead to vision loss. Regular retina and fundus exams every 6 months, alongside good blood sugar control, are key steps for prevention and treatment.

Everything you want to know
A type of paralytic strabismus caused by damage to the nerves supplying the eye muscles, resulting from prolonged high blood sugar (diabetic neuropathy).
Sudden double vision, difficulty moving the eye in a certain direction, and sometimes mild pain around the eye.
Controlling blood sugar first — the most important step — a temporary prism to reduce double vision until it improves, regular follow-up, and surgery only if the deviation remains after 6–12 months of controlled blood sugar with no improvement.
