เบาหวานขึ้นตา ถ้าไม่รักษาอาจสูญเสียการมองเห็น

<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Did you know… diabetes affects eye health?<strong><br />
</strong></span></h2>
<p>Diabetic retinopathy is a complication in patients with diabetes. Whenever diabetes becomes severe, meaning poor blood sugar control or long-term diabetes, it causes damage to the capillaries throughout the body, including the retinal capillaries. If severe, it may be incurable and eventually lead to blindness.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Diabetic retinopathy is divided into 3 stages</span></h2>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Early stage </strong></span>At this stage, symptoms are minimal, but bleeding spots in the eye may be found.</li>
<li><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Severe stage</strong></span> At this stage, new blood vessels grow on the retina, causing bleeding in the vitreous humor and potentially leading to retinal detachment or retinal tear.</li>
<li><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Macular edema stage</strong></span> At this stage, patients often experience blurred vision due to leakage from blood vessels around the macula.</li>
</ol>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Guidelines for preventing diabetic retinopathy</span></h2>
<ol>
<li>Control blood sugar levels within the normal range</li>
<li>Exercise regularly</li>
<li>Avoid excessive intake of starches or fats</li>
<li>Quit smoking and avoid alcohol consumption</li>
<li>Frequently monitor your vision; if abnormalities occur, consult a doctor immediately</li>
<li>Diabetic patients should take medications as prescribed on time</li>
<li>Diabetic patients should see an ophthalmologist annually alongside treatment with a specialist</li>
</ol>

When diabetes is severe, blood sugar control is poor, or diabetes has been present for a long time, it causes damage to the capillaries throughout the body, including the capillaries in the retina. If the condition is severe, it may be incurable and can eventually lead to blindness.
