High blood sugar can have a serious impact on your eyes and vision. When blood sugar levels are uncontrolled, fluid shifts in the eye can cause blurred vision, difficulty focusing, and changes in how you see colors. Over time, consistently high blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy and other eye conditions that may progress quietly but threaten vision. Without proper care, this damage can become permanent and, in severe cases, lead to vision loss or blindness.

Regular diabetic eye exams are essential because they allow eye doctors to detect early changes before symptoms worsen.

Melanoma of the eye, also called ocular melanoma, is a rare but serious type of eye cancer that develops in the cells that produce pigment inside the eye. Because it often forms in areas you can’t see and may not cause symptoms early on, it can go unnoticed without a comprehensive eye exam.

Regular visits to your eye doctor are essential for early detection, protecting your vision, and guiding timely treatment. Taking a proactive approach to eye health helps protect not only your sight, but your overall well-being.

That gritty, sticky feeling on your eyelids when you wake up often called “sleep in your eyes” is usually harmless and short-lived. But when it becomes frequent, more severe, or shows up with redness, irritation, or vision changes, it may be your body’s way of signaling an underlying eye condition.

Understanding the cause is key to proper care. While good eyelid hygiene often helps, some cases require targeted treatment such as prescription eye drops, antibiotics, or management of an underlying condition. Working closely with your eye care team ensures the right treatment and more comfortable mornings ahead.

When lashes rub against the eye, it’s often more than just irritation. Entropion occurs when the eyelid turns inward, causing the lashes and skin to constantly rub against the surface of the eye. Trichiasis, on the other hand, happens when the eyelid is in a normal position but the eyelashes grow in the wrong direction, pointing toward the eye.

Both conditions can lead to redness, tearing, pain, light sensitivity, and damage to the cornea if left untreated. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can relieve discomfort, protect the eye’s surface, and prevent infections or long-term vision problems helping keep your eyes healthy and comfortable.

Difficulty seeing at night isn’t something to ignore. Conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, and even vitamin A deficiency can affect how well your eyes adjust in low light making night driving, reading signs, or moving in dim spaces more challenging.

If you notice increased glare, halos, blurred vision, or trouble seeing after dark, it’s important to schedule an eye exam. Regular eye exams help detect these conditions early, often before they significantly impact your daily life, allowing your eye doctor to guide the right care and protect your vision for the long term.

Even if you feel fine, it doesn’t always mean your eyes are problem-free. Cataracts can continue to develop quietly, glaucoma can progress without symptoms, and diabetes can affect your eyes even when your vision seems unchanged. Regular eye exams help you stay at ease by checking how your eyes are truly doing, catching concerns early and guiding timely treatment before lasting damage occurs.

A dilated eye exam allows your eye doctor to look beyond the surface of your eyes and closely examine the retina and optic nerve—areas where many eye diseases begin. Conditions like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration often develop silently, without early symptoms, and a dilated exam helps detect changes before vision is affected.

As you begin the new year, make your eye health a priority. Scheduling your yearly eye exam is a simple but powerful step toward protecting your vision and preserving it for years to come.

What you notice, honor, and uplift in others often lives within your own heart. May this be a gentle reminder to offer yourself the same kindness, grace, and compassion you so freely give to the world.

2025 arrived with lessons I didn’t anticipate—some difficult, all transformative. They asked me to slow down, to listen more deeply, and to honor the season I was in. Letting go of this space has brought clarity and gratitude for everything that unfolded here.
