Most of us know the multitude health problems of diabetes. It can put anyone at risk for stroke, heart disease, Kidney failure, nervous system damage etc. Diabetes increases the risk of eye diseases which may lead to even blindness. Diabetes causes the lens of the eye which will affect the vision. This ‘blurred vision’ denotes the symptom of serious eye problem. It needs up to three months after your blood sugar has been regulated for your vision to retain the normality.

Diabetes and Eye

Diabetes can cause one’s vision at risk. Cataract, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy are common diseases caused over diabetes.

Cataracts: It is a common disease caused to any ages. But people with diabetes will be affected by cataracts at an early age.  Cataracts need a surgery to be removed / replaced by a new lense.

Glaucoma: This is caused by the pressure on the inside of the eye, which damages the optic nerve, may leads to vision loss permanently.

Diabetic retinopathy: This is the leading disease caused by diabetes. Severity results in blindness. The blood vessels in the retina sometimes get swelled and fluid leaked. In some cases, new blood vessels may grow on the surfaces of retina.

Control and prevention:

If you have diabetes, you are at risk of diabetic eye disease, and if you can control the diabetes your vision is not compromised. Diabetic physico treatment can not only control your diabetes, but it can reverse diabetes. It is a fast track reversal program designed for reversing the diabetes rather than just controlling diabetes.  Please fix an appointment with Dr. Stalin Joseph at Wellcare Hospital Attoor, Marthandam, Kanyakumari district, Tamilnadu.
