1. people with diabetes are prone to long term complications of diabetes and eye problem could be due to the same or old age related problem/.

2. main reason for reduced blood supply, could be diabetic retinopathy, or due to cataract/glaucoma.
PS. The longer you have diabetes, the higher your risk of developing retinopathy.

3. at his age, I won't recommend any surgical intervention but:
. regular screening of vision [retinoscopy]
. treatment will work to prevent vision from getting worse, and omega 3 capsule have shown promising results.
