In the early stages of diabetic eye problems, there are no obvious symptoms. However, if the capillaries near the macula leak plasma and lipids, vision will decrease due to macular edema.

The chain reaction of severe diabetes in the eyes is as follows
1. Microvascular occlusion
2. Retinal hypoxia: neovascularization
3. Fragile new blood vessels can suddenly burst
4. Blood clots penetrate into the transparent vitreous body of the leg
5. Blurred vision
6. Retinal detachment leading to blindness

The primary treatment for diabetic eye disease is to use laser to treat the disease.
Ophthalmologists use lasers to coagulate the area of ​​retinal lesions, improve vascular leakage and hypoxia, and cause new blood vessels to shrink and close. Once vitreous congestion or retinal detachment occurs, vitrectomy (Pars Plana Vitectomy) is required to restore the patient's vision.

Generally speaking, the longer one has diabetes and the worse the blood sugar control, the higher the chance of developing diabetes. If you also suffer from other diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, anemia, etc., the chance of developing diabetes is higher. From the ophthalmologist's point of view, timely and intensive treatment (Pan-retina Photocoagulation) before diabetic eye disease worsens is the main factor in successfully preventing blindness.in conclusion.

Diabetes is an endocrine disease that affects multiple organs in the body at the same time. Diabetes remains one of the leading causes of blindness in developed countries. Many patients can successfully control their disease or reduce the chance of blindness if they receive appropriate treatment before reaching the high-risk stage.

The finding of diabetes in the eye often indicates that the patient needs to make more efforts to control blood sugar or improve treatment in order to maintain a good quality of life. Achieving this goal requires cooperation and communication between the patient, the ophthalmologist, and the physician responsible for treating diabetes.
