Diabetes Week these days of November 14 is approaching, as well as diabetic eye disease, the adverse effects on the left once again like to remind doctors of the hospital Dünyagöz Prof. Dr. Hüsnü Güzel, “Some of their diabetes patients are learning during the eye examination. Diabetes can damage the eyes behind the creation of the clarity of the patient with diabetes is able to show us. Vision problems with diabetes in our hospital, we learned the patient is allocated. If you have diabetes and vision problems with the treatment of diabetes as a regular eye examination every 6 months have to do, “he says, and treatment of diabetes and describes the effects of the eye.

Causing damage to blood vessels in diabetes, the effects of eye and kidney disease in the show. Frequent urination, fatigue, such as vision problems, as well as many complaints arise. Common between the ages of 20-65 the number one cause of blindness in diabetic retinopati’de early diagnosis is crucial. Be brought under control early in the disease does not cause eye damage can be difficult to fix.

“Obesity is increasing the risk”

“Diabetes (sugar disease) seen rate, obesity (obesity) and poor nutrition began to increase together. Rate of diabetes seen in our country compared to other countries that consider more if we can not ignore the next serious threat. Diabetes, a disease that affects a person’s quality of life and eyes, heart and circulatory system, major organs such as kidney damage leads to severe. Unfortunately, the disease often perceived as a disease affecting many organs do not increase and only after complaints, and disease progression after our doctor for treatment are. However, when diagnosed early, and blood sugar levels under control is received, the negative effects of diabetes-related organ and complications (side effects) decreased, was shown in scientific studies.

“Can blind eye candy”

That the destruction of the eye candy, constantly increasing, blindness, loss of vision is going up. Diabetes, among the causes of blindness around the world are drawing head. Bunda, but the vision loss of patients when the role of doctor. Even in advanced countries, the disease has caused blindness and eye disorders is at the bottom, regular follow-up should say to patients, although follow-up and treatment of patients is known to cut.

Internal medicine specialists by patients with diabetes diagnosed later than 6 months of regular retinal (eye base, the network layer) make examination, retinal involvement in the early understanding and treatment “on the eyes, while” head will be. Lost sight in diabetes patients do not come back. Blindness, but can be prevented with early intervention.

Early treatment with 95% Success Rate

In the retina, bleeding, leakage of blood vessels, vascular blockages, edema (fluid in the tissue accumulation) and the more advanced stages prone to bleeding in the capillaries and diffuse bands, traction, even as tears many progressive disorder consists, early diagnosis and treatment, this process can be stopped. Success rate 95% level.

Alone, diabetes continues, and therefore must be taken into account in the eyes of the disease and new treatments that will advance and will need to review should not be forgotten. The current process finished, even if the patient be seen every 3 months and detailed investigations are necessary when conditions recur. Otherwise, you can create a new vision disorders may decrease.

Diabetes basically holding capillaries because of an illness, the status of the eye fundus examination alone not with the eyes, as the FFA standard (fluorescein angiography) and OCT (retinal tomography) and to evaluate our treatment and have to plan accordingly. Other tests also may be required. These tests, the results can be re-evaluated as necessary to her.

“Our goal is to protect the vision”

The most important application in the treatment, argon laser application. This treatment may take a few sessions. Some times a very violent and prone to bleeding cases, sudden vision loss and treatment of refractory glaucoma (eye tension) To prevent the laser to the entire retina may be required. This may occur before the end of treatment to prevent bleeding, allowing for regression of capillaries within the eye to the drugs can be given. Laser treatment, the results show only a few months later, and in the meantime the patient from the contraction of visual field, 1-2 during the visual reduction, consideration may be talking about the point. These are compared with the treatment of blindness is not made to create a very insignificant close. Diabetes most important, our goal is to keep seeing the same level, never a “better vision” can not be guaranteed.

Very advanced cases, and (can not be observed on the sea bottom) laser that can not be due to bleeding in patients with VITREON-retinal eye surgery in the tapes, laser bleeding during surgery can be cleaned. Usually re-bleeding and detachment (separation of the retina) is given to prevent and intraocular silicone oil in the back with a second surgery is taken.

Diabetic patients, many times, do not take into account details and high expectations because they are useful not just in treatment is interrupted, loss of vision in time for increased resort to resort to the other centers have found. Treatment of visual art would not, even if the treatment has been re-examined every 3 months should not be forgotten.

“Diabetes must be designed to treat patients with cataracts”

In addition, cataract, glaucoma (intraocular pressure) and vascular occlusion and the influence of the optic nerve to the table with the addition of other conditions such as complex event can make. All of these situations treatment and diagnostic methods, is different from retinal problems.

Of diabetes in patients with early cataract surgery, increased bleeding in the retina, the eye diseases of pregnancy and other hormonal conditions progress, cholesterol and hypertension requires strict control of the important information.
In light of all this information, as head of the treatment to be timely and accurate patient monitoring, in terms of planning ameliyalarının cataract, the patient evaluated by a retinal specialist the importance is clear.

Diabetes, diabetes specialist eye doctor-patient triangle-conscious, the deal can be seen as a disease. “
