Diabetes can affect many aspects of the body, for example the heart or kidneys, blood circulation and even eyes.In fact, the diabetic disease of the eye has increased by 89 percent between 2000 and 2010 and is the main cause of blindness among American adults.
In spite of this, the attention of the vision is often overlooked by people with diabetes and do not find out other problems that this disease can cause.
According to a survey conducted by the American Optometry Association, 55 percent of people are not aware that the diabetic disease of the eye frequently does not have visible signs or symptoms.
In addition, 44 percent of Americans do not know that a person with diabetes should take a complete view of the view once a year, including a view of the view.
However, these exams are the only way to diagnose serious eye diseases associated with diabetes in its early phase.Ocular retinal exams are fundamental for early detection and treatment of these degenerative eye diseases, which often begin without prior notice.
The longer a person has diabetes, the greater their risk of eyes diseases.Over time, diabetes can cause damage to blood vessels in the back of the eye, known as diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to diabetic ocular edema This occurs when damaged blood vessels let it escape liquid and cause inflammation.Although the symptoms are not always present, this inflammation can cause blurred vision, double vision and vision spots, which can appear as small black points or "floating" lines in the front of the eye.
