Diabetic Eye Care
People with diabetes may experience vision loss and/or blindness as a complication of the disease. The three most common eye problems for diabetics are Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma and Cataracts.
Diabetic Retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that impacts the blood vessels of the retina. Diabetes causes these vessels to deteriorate, leak fluid or blood, swell, or it can cause them to grow new blood vessels over the retina completely. In cases where the vessels swell or they leak fluid/blood, the retina scars or becomes damaged, and the light image sent to the brain becomes blurry.
With Diabetic Retinopathy, blindness occurs when the blood vessels leak blood into the center of the eye or through Macular Edema. Macular Edema is when blood or fluid is leaked on or under the macula of the eye, the area of your eye that allows you to see form, color and detail.
Diabetic Retinopathy can be treated in two ways. The first way is where the doctor uses laser surgery technology and focuses the laser on the damaged retina where the heat from the laser's energy stops the bleeding by sealing the blood vessels. The second treatment is when the doctor removes the blood-filled portion of the eye and replaces it with a clear artificial solution.
People who have had diabetes for a long time have a higher risk of developing this eye condition. If you are diabetic, it's very important to have your eyes examined regularly by an experienced ophthalmologist and to report any change in vision immediately.
