Diabetic Retinopathy
Vision in Focus: StemRx Hospital Shines Light on Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment
Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition caused by diabetes. Over time, high blood sugar levels damage blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This damage leads to vision problems and, if left untreated, can cause blindness. Symptoms include blurred vision, floaters, and difficulty seeing at night. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and treatment, which may involve laser surgery or injections to prevent vision loss. Managing diabetes through proper diet, exercise, and medication is key to reducing the risk of diabetic retinopathy and its complications.
Symptoms
Diabetic retinopathy can cause several symptoms, especially as the condition progresses. Some common symptoms include:
-
Blurred vision:
You may experience blurry or hazy vision, making it difficult to see objects clearly. Fluctuating vision: Your vision may fluctuate throughout the day, affecting your ability to focus on objects.
-
Floaters:
Small specks or spots may appear in your vision, which can be distracting or annoying.
-
Dark or empty areas in vision:
You may notice dark spots or areas where your vision seems to be missing, which can indicate bleeding or damage to the retina.
-
Difficulty seeing at night:
Your night vision may worsen, making it challenging to see in low-light conditions.
-
Loss of central vision:
In advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy, you may experience a loss of central vision, which can significantly impact your ability to read, drive, or recognize faces.
-
Color vision changes:
You may have difficulty distinguishing between colors or notice changes in how colors appear to you.
