High blood sugar and other abnormal metabolic activities damage the blood vessels of the eyes in persons suffering from diabetes. As a result of these, these vessels failed to supply oxygen to different parts of the body and the scarcity of oxygen causes strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure, and vision loss.

In some cases these thin blood vessels may begin to balloon and gradually formed micro aneurysms, and started leakage of the fluid that is called edema and blood (called dot and blot hemorrhages) into the retina. This process is called non proliferate diabetic retinopathy. If this fluid deposits in the central part of the retina (called the macula) and causes swelling there, the process is called diabetic macular edema. Sometimes new blood vessels, which are extremely leaky and fragile, may begin to grow and this process is called as proliferate diabetic retinopathy. This results in discharge of blood inside the eye (vitreous hemorrhage) and finally resulting in severe vision loss or even blindness. Cataracts are another disease, which results into the clouding of the eye's lens and the vision becomes blurry. In addition, cataracts tend to develop at an earlier age, around middle age, in people with diabetes. Glaucoma also results from an increase in fluid pressure inside the eye that leads to progressive optic nerve damage and loss of vision.

Though, retinal vein occlusion (RVO) occurs frequently in diabetic patients, the main underlying medical conditions for RVO in diabetics are hypertension and hyperlipidaemia.
