Dr Prabhjot Kaur, who is an eye specialist at Eye-Q, is here to tell you about the eye problems due to diabetes and how you can prevent them. In this video, she has explained the various aspects of diabetes eye problems in each part.
How does diabetes affect your eyes (glaucoma, retinopathy, and cataracts)?
People with high blood sugar levels may experience blurriness in their vision often. This blurriness is due to the changing blood sugar level that, just like other organs, affects the eyesight too. If this is ignored, it can also lead to more eye problems like glaucoma, retinopathy, and cataracts.
Symptoms of eye problems due to diabetes?
There are various symptoms of eye problems related to diabetes, like
Vision blurriness
Low contrast vision
Colours seem dull
Seeing floaters
A person with such symptoms should immediately seek a doctor to prevent further damage to their eyes.
Ways to save sight from diabetes eye problems:
If you have diabetes, the best way to prevent your eyes from getting damaged is with regular eye exams every six months that check your eyesight power and give a brief eye check to identify any potential eye problems.
Why should you not ignore diabetic retinopathy?
There are various stages to any eye disease, like mild, moderate, and severe. In diabetic retinopathy, the last stages are very crucial as the person is at the highest risk of getting blind in these stages. Early treatment helps retain normal eyesight and prevents eye problems from getting to their worst stage.
What is the treatment?
People diagnosed with diabetes should take care of their blood sugar levels by modifying their diet and lifestyle. Healthy habits like exercising regularly and eating a nutritious diet can not only help avoid eye problems due to diabetes but also facilitate patients' recovery from existing diabetes eye problems easily.
