The optic nerve may be harmed as a result of the eye disorder Glaucoma. The health of your eyes depends on this nerve. Damage to it may result in blindness in certain situations and irreversible visual loss in other cases. Glaucoma is frequently brought on by high intraocular pressure. A risk factor for Glaucoma, however, might also be Diabetes. A risk factor for primary open-angle Glaucoma is type 2 diabetes. If a person is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, an ophthalmologist should have been contacted to check for any symptoms of Diabetic retinopathy, a condition in which high blood sugar destroys the blood vessels in the Retina. A yearly dilated exam should be performed on diabetes patient's as well to check for any Glaucoma symptoms. The same as for non-diabetic individuals with open-angle glaucoma, diabetic people with primary glaucoma are treated by decreasing ocular pressure with drugs, laser treatment, and surgery if necessary. Receive the necessary care, ideally sooner rather than later, to limit the effects of diabetes on your vision. Your chances of having better results increase dramatically if we can identify the diabetes-related vision issues you are experiencing or identify early warning signals with preventative testing. How does Diabetes affects the eye: The capacity of human body to keep blood sugar levels regular is harmed by diabetes. Human body need a certain amount of blood sugar to function, but if it rises too high, major organs and other key systems may be placed under stress. Eye concerns associated with diabetes are quite serious. Blood sugar levels that are too high can harm the Retina, which is located in the backside of the eye. Blindness may occur a few years after untreated Diabetic Retinopathy. Blood vessels of eyes may suffer as a result, which you could notice. Your chance of getting Glaucoma after receiving a diabetes diagnosis is also doubled. Glaucoma has the potential to severely damage vision or even render completely or partially blind if untreated.
