Diabetes can cause glaucoma (eye pressure). Treatment is either laser surgery (not really a surgery as much as a procedure) or eye drops.
My eye pressure was 24 in each eye, which is boarderline too high. After the procedure the pressure is down to 17 in each eye. Its been like that for 2 years now. I go for an eye doctor visit every 3 or 4 months and they check the optic nerve and pressure.
If not treated the pressure builds up which is not noticeable and then the person experiences vision problems that are not reversable. Once the optic nerves is damaged, it stays that way.
