    Yes, diabetes can cause some eye damages. In common, people may suffered from retina damages if they have diabetes. Some people called this damages as diabetic retinopathy. And the diabetic retinopathy is just a process. If you ignore it, it is possible to cause total loss of vision. That is to say, diabetic retinopathy can result in blindness. So, you'd better take your grandma to see an doctor and treat it immediately.
