Diabetic Retinopathy: All you need to know
1. Blurry Vision in Diabetics
High blood sugar reduces blood flow to the small capillaries of the eye, causing swelling and distortion of the eye lens. This results in blurry vision. Before changing your glasses, get your BSL checked.
2. Eye Cataract
Eye Cataract are cloudy growths that can be seen on the internal lens of the eye. When cataracts form, they function just like dirty windows, compromising your ability to see clearly through them. When your lens of the eye is cloudy, it is harder for your eye to focus properly. Cataract symptoms include blurring of vision and glare.
3. Glaucoma
When high blood sugar starts damaging the small blood vessels of the eye, it causes pressure to build up inside the eye. As a result, the fluid is not drained out properly and it results in nerve damage and further blood vessel damage and begins to affect vision.
4. Diabetic Retinopathy
With high blood sugar comes the danger of damage to the retina. The retina consists of cells located at the back of your eye. These cells use light to perceive objects as images, which it sends to the brain via the optic nerve, in the form of nerve signals.Types of diabetic retinopathy
Other types of diabetic retinopathy:
Background retinopathy. Here, although there is damage to the blood vessels, your visibility might still be relatively ok, but the damage will get worse if your BSL is not properly managed.
1. Diabetic Maculopathy
The macula in the retina is responsible for vision needed for activities like reading, driving, etc. High BSL can cause it to swell. If this happens it can seriously compromise your eyesight. However, this swelling can be reversed unless it has progressed to greater severity. If more serious it may require surgery and is hard to treat properly.
2. Diabetic Proliferative Retinopathy
When the cells located at the rear of your eye get insufficient oxygen, new blood vessels become fragile. If these bleed they lead to clots that cause scars and pull the retina out of its position at the back of your eye. Should the retina get detached, it will lead to vision loss that cannot be fixed easily.
