Diabetic Eye Conditions

It is in fact a fact that individuals with diabetic conditions are more prone to eye problems that may lead to diabetic blindness than those without the condition. Diabetes Dubai is the leading cause of blindness in adults between the ages 20 all the way to 74. Numerous diabetic patients are reported to have minor eye disorders on a daily basis but what is important is that regular checkups will help keep such problems that may lead to excessive ones at a distance which too may be treated if you begin to do so without delay. If you are a diabetic patient and experience sudden blurred vision, do not come to us for a pair or correctional lenses. Make sure you inform us that you are diabetic and we will do the needful by stunting the rapid development of diabetic eye conditions caused by high blood sugar levels.

Having high blood sugar levels in your system causes the lens of the eye to swell and this hinders normal sight and leads to the development of various eye disorders. Controlling your blood sugar with the use of medication and a proper diet is therefore essential in order to see results in pending diabetic blindness or eye disorders as it takes up to three months for your blurred vision to return to normal after your sugar levels are controlled.

There are many diabetic eye conditions that may occur within the span of your life such as the rapid buildup of already existing cataracts, glaucoma, that can be controlled by getting annual glaucoma screening from us and most commonly; diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is a disorder of the retina that occurs mostly in those with high blood sugar levels. It occurs due to the damage of small vessels. There are three types of retinopathy and they are; background retinopathy where there is blood
vessel damage but no vision problems, maculopathy which significantly reduces vision and proliferative retinopathy which is due to the lack of oxygen in the eye caused by new blood vessels growing in the back of the eye.
