As many as 80 percent of cases of blindness in humans should be avoided. Often times it is caused by complications of diabetes and other medical conditions. The longer affected by diabetes, the higher the possibility of getting damaged eye blood vessels.
"About 60 percent of patients had diabetes for 50 years or more will be damaged blood vessels in the eye, and one percent are at risk of blindness," Dr. Yeo.
According to the National Health Survey in 2004 in Singapore, 8.9 percent of men and 7.6 percent of women affected by diabetes. Rate of diabetes in India is the highest number, ie 15.3 percent, Malaysia 11 percent, and China 7.1 percent. These statistics would be a guide for other Asian countries.
