If eye candy is candy for the eye then what is eye food?

Does eating too much sugar (candy) affect your eye sight?

  • Ive allways had eye problems since child hood but since ive lived in the us since 2001 when i came here at age eleven ive been eating alot more candy and it seems my vision has been getting worse ever since, and just recently whenever i eat sweets my eyes start to tear up and get slightly blurry, should i go see a doctor or is it normal.

  • Answer:

    As others have mentioned, if you have diabetes, one of the side effects of chronically elevated blood sugar is vision trouble. part of it might just be incidental. as we get older, our vision gets worse. But cut back on sugar anyway, it's not good for you!

You might be having an allergic reaction to an ingredient in the candy.

I am diabetic and until I found out that was the problem I also had problems with my vision. You really should see a doctor and have your sugar levels checked.

Never heard of that.

No that's not normal. If your seeing more blurry after you eat sweets, you should go and tell a doctor, you might be developing some sort of diabetes. And anything that affects the normal function of your body that shouldn't, you should probably ask a doctor just to be safe.

yes your blood sugar can effect your eyes. I am diabetic and when my sugar is high the first sign is my eyes get blurry, when it goes down my vision goes back to normal.

Only if you are diabetic or have been consuming insane amounts of sugar.
