Hi,
Thank you for asking your question on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. Considering you are a long-term diabetic, it is very important to take care of other body parts which diabetes affect, commonly being heart, eyes, kidney and nerves.
Blurred vision in a diabetic person can be a sign of Diabetic retinopathy and should be evaluated at the earliest. I would suggest you visit your ophthalmologist. He will be checking your eyes under a slit microscope to see any signs of Diabetic retinopathy.
Also, kindly get your sugar levels checked including HbA1C to see the diabetic control. All these levels must be within normal levels.
Let me know in case of any further query or to show the reports.
Best,
Dr Vishesh
