Yes if the father is already a diabetic and if there is much fluctuating the blood sugar level it may damage the retinal cells , may causes diabetic macular oedema , eventually the vision is dependent on retinal wellness, there may be the oedema after cataract surgery to minimise it the doctor has prescribed you to take the anti.VEGF injection to minimise the retinal oedema
Next Steps
