10 Cause of Sudden Blurry Vision

Diabetes

Diabetes can affect the eye in general, with time, but it has more profound effects on the retina (the photosensitive region of the eye). Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that may result from prolonged diabetes, due to increased blood sugar. This along can damage the small blood vessels supplying the retina, causing bleeding inside the eye and in the macula. Hence, blurry vision results. You might also experience some floating specks in your field of vision. Early detection and prompt treatment are vital to averting a permanent loss of vision.  [3]
