In its form, glucose is ready for absorption into the blood stream. As such, it is the most preferred source of energy in body cells.
Plants produce glucose by a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy to build up glucose, which the plant stores in the form of long chains of starch.
The body needs to store glucose as a polysaccharide because if it is store as single molecules of glucose (non-phosphorylated), it will leave the cells and be sent out of the body via kidneys. So the cell can either store glucose as Glucose-6-phosphate or polysaccharide. If G6P is stored inside cells, it will readily be degraded via the glycolysis pathway. So putting it in a polysaccharide prevents 1.) removal from body and 2.) rapid metabolism of glucose.

Insulin is the hormone that specifically targets cells that produce hormones affecting glucose metabolism. It is produced by the pancreas and regulates the uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose by cells in the body. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into cells.

The cells of the retina need glucose to get energy through a process called cellular respiration. Without glucose to the cells of the retina you can't see and the cells of the retina can't function.
