In this video, we'll break down the 5 main ways diabetes affects the eyes and the symptoms you may experience. 1️⃣ Blurred Vision Diabetes can cause blurred or poor vision through changes in the lens, diabetic macular edema, and the development of cataracts. 2️⃣ Spots in Your Vision Diabetics can see floaters of many types, but diabetics specifically struggle with what's called vitreous hemorrhage, where blood inside the eye floats within the vitreous. 3️⃣ Diabetic Retinopathy (Bleeding Within the Retina) Diabetic retinopathy is often the first thing ophthalmologists notice during a diabetic eye exam. This is recognized as changes in the blood vessels and bleeding within the eye. 4️⃣ Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy This is when new blood vessels grow inside the eye (neovascularization), which often rupture and leak fluid into the eye. 5️⃣ Retinal Detachment In cases of extreme diabetic retinopathy and untreated proliferative diabetic retinopathy, fibrovascular scarring can lead to retinal detachment. Retinal detachment is an eye care emergency and has a poor prognosis, as it can lead to irreparable vision loss and blindness. The better a diabetic's blood sugar is controlled, whether through diet, exercise, and/or medication, the lower the chance of developing diabetic eye disease and other systemic complications. 🔥 It is recommended to have a dilated eye exam at least once a year if diagnosed with diabetes. Earlier or more frequently if your doctor recommends it. I always strongly recommend heart-healthy lifestyle changes for people struggling with diabetes.
