Diabetes, the killer disease, is known to affect many parts of the body. Diabetes can affect the eye, heart, nervous system and kidney. It is better that a diabetic person is always under the watch of a doctor.
A diabetic person is at more risk of vision problems than others. It has been said that a diabetic person has more than 40 per cent of chance to get glaucoma. If one is diabetic for more years, then the risk is even higher.
People with diabetes are also at greater risk to get cataract at a young age. They can experience optic nerve problems and also temporary paralysis of muscles controlling movement of eyes.
Well, the most complicated one is diabetic retinopathy, which is caused because of the complications in the small vessels in the retina. Diabetic retinopathy is a burning issue now. Nonproliferative and Proliferative are the two types of diabetic retinopathy. Nonproliferative Retinopathy is a condition in which the blood vessels in the retina are damaged that leads to fluid leek or bleeding. Proliferative Retinopathy is an advanced stage of diabetic retinopathy. It is a condition in which the blood supply of retina is compromised.
If you are diabetic, it is better to keep the blood sugar levels under tight control so as to prevent eye problems. Try to bring high blood pressure under control as hypertension can worsen eye problems.
If you experience blurred vision, flashes of light and black spots, it is better to consult the doctor immediately. If you are diabetic, it is better to have some early planning and better eye care management to prevent from any vision complications and vision loss.
