Diabetic retinopathy

a1

About one in ten middle-aged people in Hong Kong develop diabetes, which affects eye health in addition to being physically tired and susceptible to infection. Diabetic retinopathy, commonly known as "sugar urine on the eye", is one of the top 10 causes of blindness in the world, with about 200 people losing their sight in Hong Kong each year. Therefore, diabetics must prevent glycuria on the eye early.

The incidence and severity of the eye in glycuria are proportional to the age of diabetes, most diabetics over 10 years will also have some degree of retinopathy symptoms;

Early preventive examinations are important because the symptoms of eye health problems caused by diabetes may be asymptomatic at all, but when symptoms appear, it may be too late. 」

However, if the lesions develop into the later stage, long-term microvascular leakage will lead to hypoxia of the retina, vascular hyperplhesis and serious retinal complications, visual function will be significantly impaired, and eventually seriously affected or even blind.

Q and A.

Q: THE EFFECTS OF DIABETES ON THE EYES:

A: CATARACTS AND SECONDARY GLAUCOMA - DIABETICS OCCUR EARLIER THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION.

Refractive instability - When blood sugar fluctuates more rapidly in diabetics, refractive is affected, leading to a deepening of transient farsightedness or nearsightedness.

Retinopathy and macular edema - Diabetes can cause damage to retinal microvascular vessels, more likely to seep or bleed, and gradually destroy visual function. It even causes the retina to grow fragile new blood vessels, causing glass bleeding and retinal fibrosis.
