YOUR EYES AND DIABETES
You may have heard that diabetes causes eye problems and may lead to blindness. People with diabetes do have a higher risk of blindness than people without diabetes.
With
regular checkups, you can keep minor problems minor. And if you do develop
a major problem, there are natural treatments for diabetes that often work well
if you begin them right away.
To understand what happens in eye disorders, it helps to understand how the eye works. The eye is a ball covered with a tough outer membrane. The covering in front is clear and curved. This curved area is the cornea, which focuses light while protecting the eye.
After light
passes through the cornea, it travels through a space called the anterior
chamber (which is filled with a protective fluid called the aqueous humor),
through the pupil (which is a hole in the iris, the colored part of the eye),
and then through a lens that performs more focusing. Finally, light passes
through another fluid-filled chamber in the center of the eye (the vitreous) and
strikes the back of the eye, the retina.
The retina
records the images focused on it and converts those images into electrical
signals, which the brain receives and decodes.
One part of
the retina is specialized for seeing fine detail. This tiny area of extra-sharp
vision is called the macula. Blood vessels in and behind the retina nourish the
macula.
Glaucoma
People with
diabetes are 40% more likely to suffer from glaucoma than people without
diabetes. The longer someone has had diabetes, the more common glaucoma is.
Risk also increases with age.
Glaucoma
occurs when pressure builds up in the eye. In most cases, the pressure causes
drainage of the aqueous humor to slow down so that it builds up in the anterior
chamber. The pressure pinches the blood vessels that carry blood to the retina
and optic nerve. Vision is gradually lost because the retina and nerve are
damaged.
Cataracts
Many people
without diabetes get cataracts, but people with diabetes are 60% more likely to
develop this eye condition. People with diabetes also tend to get cataracts at
a younger age and have them progress faster. With cataracts, the eye’s clear
lens clouds, blocking light.
To help
deal with mild cataracts, you may need to wear sunglasses more often and use
glare-control lenses in your glasses. For cataracts that interfere greatly with
vision, doctors usually remove the lens of the eye. Sometimes the patient gets
a new transplanted lens. In people with diabetes, retinopathy can get worse
after removal of the lens, and glaucoma may start to develop.
Retinopathy
Diabetic
retinopathy is a general term for all disorders of the retina caused by
diabetes. There are two major types of retinopathy: nonproliferative and
proliferative.
Nonproliferative
retinopathy
In
nonproliferative retinopathy, the most common form of retinopathy, capillaries
in the back of the eye balloon and form pouches. Nonproliferative retinopathy
can move through three stages (mild, moderate, and severe), as more and more
blood vessels become blocked.
Macular
edema
Although
retinopathy does not usually cause vision loss at this stage, the capillary
walls may lose their ability to control the passage of substances between the
blood and the retina. Fluid can leak into the part of the eye where focusing
occurs, the macula. When the macula swells with fluid, a condition called
macula edema, vision blurs and can be lost entirely. Although nonproliferative retinopathy
usually does not require treatment, macular edema must be treated, but
fortunately treatment is usually effective at stopping and sometimes reversing
vision loss.
Proliferative
retinopathy
In some
people, retinopathy progresses after several years to a more serious form
called proliferative retinopathy. In this form, the blood vessels are so
damaged they close off. In response, new blood vessels start growing in the
retina. These new vessels are weak and can leak blood, blocking vision, which
is a condition called vitreous hemorrhage. The new blood vessels can also cause
scar tissue to grow. After the scar tissue shrinks, it can distort the retina
or pull it out of place, a condition called retinal detachment.
How is it
Treated?
Diabetes
can strike anyone, from any walk of life. And it does – in numbers that are
dramatically increasing. In the last decade, the cases of people living with
diabetes jumped almost 50 percent – to almost 350million people worldwide
.
Worldwide,
it afflicts more than 350 million people currently. And the World Health
Organization estimates that by 2030, number of people living with diabetes will
more than double.
Today,
diabetes takes more lives than AIDS and breast cancer combined. It is a leading
cause of blindness, kidney failure, amputations, heart failure and
stroke.
Living with
diabetes places an enormous emotional, physical and financial burden on the
entire family. Therefore, it is important to those who love their lives to seek
means, especially, natural and holistic means of reversing diabetes.
