In this episode of The Eye-Q Podcast, I speak with retina specialist Dr. Krishna Mukkamala about the impact of diabetes on vision. We cover five major ways diabetes can silently damage your eyes, the most commonly overlooked symptom, and how early intervention can prevent permanent blindness. Whether you're managing diabetes or supporting someone who is, this episode offers vital insights to help protect long-term eye health.

Dr. Krishna Mukkamala is a fellowship-trained vitreo-retinal surgeon with a background in Biomedical Engineering and a passion for precision medicine and compassionate care. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, he completed his ophthalmology training at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary and advanced fellowship at Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants of New York and Columbia University. In addition to treating complex retinal conditions, Dr. Mukkamala has authored over 15 peer-reviewed publications, contributed to clinical trials, and written on Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Based in Atlanta, he also revived the Atlanta Ophthalmological Society to foster a professional community and education among local eye care providers.
