Intermittent fasting has gained popularity for its potential benefits in weight loss and metabolic health—but what about eye health? Recent research has started exploring how intermittent fasting may help reduce the risk of certain eye conditions, including diabetic retinopathy.

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of vision loss in working-aged adults. It’s caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the delicate blood vessels in the retina, leading to leakage, inflammation, and abnormal blood vessel growth.

Studies have shown that intermittent fasting can help lower blood glucose levels, improve lipid metabolism, and support weight loss—all of which may help reduce damage to the eye’s blood vessels and support long-term eye health.
