Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of legal blindness in the United States among working-age adults. In fact, vision loss is 25 times more common in persons with diabetes than in those without it. Further, the longer a person has diabetes, the greater the risk of vision loss. However, this type of blindness is often preventable.
