According to the survey, duration of diabetes less than 5 years in the fundus changes in 38 ~ 39%; course of 5 to 10 years the incidence rate of 50 ~ 56.7%; 10 years the incidence increased to 69 ~ 90%. Now, diabetic retinopathy has risen the most important blinding one of the reasons, there are 1 / 4 blind So blind patients. However, because many people do not understand the damage of diabetes on the eye, when the vision is often reduced to a considerable extent, affect the normal work and life, only to the hospital for medical treatment, the result of delays in the condition, and ultimately no longer blind to the eyes of the world .
Diabetes is caused by insulin insufficiency of glucose metabolism disorders, and disorders associated with protein metabolism, it can produce in vivo changes in a variety of organ systems, but with the eyes more closely related, can cause cataracts, retinopathy, transient flexor optical errors, such as external ophthalmoplegia, in which the most common retinopathy. So, when people are diagnosed with diabetes after, even if visual acuity is 1.0, should be to carry out regular inspection of ophthalmic hospital to see if there is the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy. If everything will be all right, about every six months should be a detailed investigation. If the early symptoms of the disease occur, it is necessary to 1 or 2 months once, once the disease must be treated immediately. In addition, many patients with a decline in visual acuity often mistaken for the performance of early cataract, retinal disease is not thought of. Cataract can be cured through surgery, and once the development of diabetic retinopathy to the advanced, even if advanced medical technology is also difficult to have a significant effect. For prevention, we must check as soon as possible, as soon as possible treatment.
