Diabetes is one of the diseases that the blood vessels in the eye to be clearly visible and the lens of the eyes cloudy. This is due to the high blood sugar content in our blood which causes the blood vessels in the retina to rupture. In addition, if not maintained and treated, this diabetes can cause permanent blindness.
