Welcome to our YouTube channel! Today, we delve into a crucial topic: how to take steps to prevent diabetic retinopathy. Diabetes affects millions worldwide, and one of its grave complications is diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to vision loss. But fear not, as there are preventive measures you can implement.
Diabetic retinopathy is primarily caused by damage to the small blood vessels in the eyes due to prolonged high blood sugar levels. This damage weakens and causes leakage, leading to retinal swelling and damage. Symptoms can range from subtle signs like blurred vision to severe indications such as vision loss and blindness. Early detection and management are key.
To prevent diabetic retinopathy, managing your diabetes effectively is crucial. This involves maintaining healthy blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medication as per your doctor's guidance. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and timely medical intervention are essential. Additionally, safeguarding your vision with routine eye exams, sunglasses outdoors, and avoiding smoking can significantly reduce your risk.
