Eminent Ophthalmologist and Director of the SewaSadan Eye Hospital Dr Prerna Upadhyaya disclosed that, it is possible to have diabetes and the patient do not know it. In fact, it is uncommon to have symptoms in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy. As the condition progresses, diabetic retinopathy symptoms may include spots or dark strings floating in vision, blurred vision, fluctuating vision, dark or empty areas in vision, Vision loss and difficulty with color perception. Diabetic retinopathy usually affects both eyes.
Dr. Prerna also told Diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. At first, diabetic retinopathy may cause no symptoms or only mild vision problems. Eventually, however, diabetic retinopathy can result in blindness. Diabetic retinopathy can develop in anyone who has type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. The longer anybody have diabetes, and the less controlled blood sugar is, the more likely to develop diabetic retinopathy. To protect vision one must take prevention seriously. Start by carefully controlling blood sugar level and scheduling yearly eye exams.
