'Sugar Friends' suddenly see things blurry? Reminder: Most of them are related to 4 kinds of eye diseases, and you need to seek medical attention in time

Everyone must have heard of diabetes mellitus, which is a metabolic disease with hyperglycemia as its main symptom.

　　However, in the eyes of clinicians, the scary part of diabetes is never the increase in blood sugar itself, but the various complications that patients may have based on high blood sugar, such as diabetic eye disease is one of them!

　　Relevant research and investigations have shown that almost all eye diseases may appear in diabetic patients. The longer the blood sugar is poorly controlled and the patient does not receive treatment in time, the higher the probability of eye disease in the future, and even the possibility of the patient. will be blinded.

　　Therefore, for diabetic patients, the vigilance of eye disease should be increased. If you often see things suddenly blurry recently, be careful that the following types of eye diseases are looking for your own signals:

1. Retinopathy

　　According to the current clinical data, nearly 1/2 of diabetic patients will develop retinopathy after the course of disease exceeds 10 years. Nearly 80% of patients with diabetes for more than 15 years will have retinopathy , which is the most common. , the most serious diabetic eye disease. The more severe the disease and the older the patient, the higher the risk of developing the disease.

　　The reason for this is that diabetes often causes damage to the retinal capillary walls , coupled with the hypercoagulable state of blood , it is easy to form thrombus and congestion , or even rupture of blood vessels, which in turn induces retinopathy.

　　In the initial stage, patients may present with blurred vision and decreased vision, which may continue to develop in the future, and may even lead to blindness;

2. Cataracts

　　Relevant studies have pointed out that patients with diabetes and cataracts account for about 60% of the total cataract patients , and the probability of surgery is much higher than that of other cataract patients. Usually, patients need surgical treatment to control the development of the disease.

　　Under normal circumstances, cataracts caused by diabetes are divided into two categories: true and senile . The former is prone to appear in patients with type 1 diabetes , especially in juvenile diabetic patients.

　　Patients tend to develop bilateral disease and the disease progresses very rapidly, reaching full maturity within days or even 48 hours . And if it is senile cataract , it will aggravate and accelerate the degree and speed of lens opacity ;

3. Fluctuating refractive error

　　In clinical practice in China, many patients do not know that they have diabetes at first. It was only recently that I suddenly developed myopia and blurred vision, and was finally diagnosed with diabetes.

　　The reason for similar performance is that the patient has fluctuating blood sugar increase, and the sudden increase in blood sugar will lead to a decrease in the osmotic pressure of the aqueous humor, and then the patient will suddenly develop myopia .

　　If the patient already has presbyopia, the symptoms of presbyopia will be alleviated when the blood sugar rises rapidly. However, this refraction change is temporary, and it will return to the original refraction level when blood sugar control is stabilized ;

4. Open-angle glaucoma

　　This is also one of the eye diseases with a high incidence of diabetes, and it mostly occurs in patients with type 2 diabetes , especially in middle -aged people . In the early stage of the disease, the patients basically have no obvious symptoms.

　　However, when it develops to a certain extent, different symptoms will gradually appear, such as mild headache, eye pain, blurred vision and rainbow vision , etc., which can be relieved or disappeared after rest, so it is often easy to be affected by patients. ignore.

　　Last but not least, diabetic eye disease is one of the most common complications of diabetes. But not all patients will be sick, which mainly depends on whether the blood sugar control is stable.

　　Therefore, after the diagnosis of diabetes, patients should be vigilant, actively cooperate with doctors to carry out relevant treatment, and regularly check their eyes to avoid eye diseases without knowing it.
