Reduce sugar intake in daily life, control blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipids, and do fundus screening regularly; if you are diagnosed with diabetes, If you have a problem with the disease, you should follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment and regular follow-up, try to stop the train, slow down and control its progress, and protect your eyesight as much as possible.
