When your blood sugar gets too high, it can damage the blood vessels in your eyes. This damage may lead to diabetic retinopathy. In fact, the longer someone has diabetes, the more likely he is to have retinopathy. In later stages, the disease may lead to new blood vessel growth over the retina . The new blood vessels can cause scar tissue to develop, which can pull the retina away from the back of the eye. This is known as

Diabetic Retinopathy By K. Bailey Freund, MD Nonproliferative (background) diabetic retinopathy Introduction Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new cases of legal blindness among working-age Americans. It is caused by damage to the small blood vessels in the retina (the light sensing tissue in the back of the eye). Although the precise cause of this damage is unknown, it is believed that poorly controlled blood sugar levels are related to its progression. Types of diabetic retinopathy Diabetic retinopathy is divided into two main categories: Nonproliferative (background) diabetic retinopathy (includes diabetic macular edema) Proliferative diabetic retinopathy Treatment of diabetic retinopathy The most important tool for treating diabetes and its complications including diabetic retinopathy is medical management of the diabetes. Tight control of blood sugar and strict blood pressure control have been clearly demonstrated as critically important in helping to prevent the eye complications of diabetes and in slowing their progression.

Diabetic Retinopathy (posted by Hopkins Technology) U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service National Institutes of Health Why is it important to know how diabetes affects the eyes? If you are among the 10 million people in the United States who have diabetes - or if someone close to you has this disease - you should know that diabetes can affect the eyes and cause visual impairment. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent or lessen the eye damage caused by diabetes. That is why it is so important for people with this disease to have a professional eye examination as soon as their diabetes is diagnosed, and at least once a year thereafter. Regular eye examinations are especially important for people who have had diabetes 5 years or longer, for those who have difficulty controlling the level of sugar in their blood, and for diabetic women who are pregnant. All of these people are at increased risk for diabetes-associated eye problems. What is diabetic retinopathy? Diabetic retinopathy is a potentially serious eye disease caused by diabetes. It affects the retina - the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that transmits visual messages to the brain. Damage to this delicate tissue may result in visual impairment or blindness.

Please feel free to visit our Home Page , check out other eye conditions on our Eye Conditions page or go to our Diabetic Eye Disease page. PREPROLIFERATIVE DIABETIC RETINOPATHY or Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Preproliferative (or Background) diabetic retinopathy is primarily a disease of retinal blood vessels. It is the result of two major processes affecting the retinal blood vessels: vessel closure and abnormal vessel permeability. RETINAL BLOOD VESSEL CLOSURE The earliest vessel closures in diabetic retinopathy are usually the capillaries. These small vessels are critical to the health of the retina, since they are needed to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the area and to carry away carbon dioxide and other waste products. The source of this capillary closure is not completely understood. Theories as to why these vessels close off include: Clumping of blood cells or other blood elements. Abnormality or damage to the endothelium (the cells lining the inner wall of the capillary).

CS Home Search for a Study Participate in a Study Refer a Patient to a Study ... NEI Home Diabetic Retinopathy Study (DRS) Purpose Background Description Patient Eligibility ... NEI Representative Purpose To determine whether photocoagulation helps prevent severe visual loss from proliferative diabetic retinopathy. To determine whether a difference exists in the efficacy and safety of argon versus xenon photocoagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Background By the 1950s, diabetic retinopathy had become a leading cause of blindness and visual disability in the United States. The use of photocoagulation to treat proliferative retinopathy gained widespread use in ophthalmic practice following its introduction in 1959. However, only a few studies of photocoagulation incorporated any of the basic principles of controlled clinical trials, and these involved inadequate numbers of patients. Consequently, there has been inadequate evidence of the actual value of the procedure. Because of the clinical importance of diabetic retinopathy and the increasing use of photocoagulation in its management, the Diabetic Retinopathy Study (DRS) was begun in 1971. This randomized, controlled clinical trial involved more than 1,700 patients enrolled at 15 medical centers. Description One eye of each patient was randomly assigned to immediate photocoagulation and the other to followup without treatment, regardless of the course followed by either eye. The eye chosen for photocoagulation was randomly assigned to either of two treatment techniques, one using an argon laser and the other a xenon arc photocoagulator. Patients were followed at 4-month intervals according to a protocol that provided for measurement of best corrected visual acuity.

According to recent projections it will affect 239 million people by 2010- doubling in prevalence since 1994. Diabetes will affect 28 million in western Europe, 18.9 million in North America 138.2 million in Asia, 1.3 million in Australasia. l l Diabetes mellitus is the most common cause of blindness amongst individuals of working-age ( 20-65 years). The prevalence of blindness due to DR in Western Communities is estimated as between 1.6-1.9/ 100,000 About 8% of UK BD8 registrations are due to diabetes. ( The World Health Organisation (1992) definition of blindness is vision less than 3/60 in the better eye with best available spectacle correction. ) Presentation l About 2% of type 2 diabetics have CSME at diagnosis and 10.2% have other signs of DR already present when their diabetes is discovered. l Mitchell and co- workers found that 15.8 % of undiagnosed diabetics in an elderly Australian population had signs of DR

Amsler Test Background Diabetic Retinopathy Background diabetic retinopathy or BDR is named appropriately because it sits in the background, not itself a danger to vision, but is instead a warning sign that serious damage may be starting. Directly above the white arrows in the picture are two small flmae shaped hemorrhages with tiny microaneurisms seen along either side of the vessel between the arrows. This warning sign is difficult to interpret-80% of people who have had diabetes for over 20 years have some BDR, but only about 1 out of every 4 or 5 of those with BDR will eventually suffer measurable vision impairment. BDR consists of: Microaneurisms : these are usually the earliest visible change in retinopathy seen on exam with an ophthalmoscope as scattered red spots in the retina where tiny, weakened blood vessels have ballooned out.

Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy: An Overview Somdutt Prasad MS FRCS Fellow in Diabetic Eye Disease Arrowe Park Hospital Upton, Wirral L49 5PE, UK somprasad@enterprise.net Introduction The Case for Screening The Screening Process ... Conclusion Introduction Probably the first written reference to diabetes is found in the Ebers Papyrus of ancient Egypt dating back to about 1550 BC. The disease knows no medical speciality boundaries. Diabetic retinopathy is a specific microvascular complication of both insulin dependant (type1) and non insulin dependant (type 2) diabetes. The prevalence of retinopathy is strongly linked to the duration of diabetes. After 20 years of diabetes nearly all patients with type 1 diabetes and over 60% of patients with type 2 diabetes have some degree of retinopathy. Upto a fifth of newly diagnosed diabetics have been found to have some retinopathy. A diabetic is 25 times more likely to go blind than a person in the general population. Surveillance and treatment of diabetes-related complications should be part of routine care of all patients with diabetes. Treatment should try to ensure normoglycaemia as far as practicable. Intensive treatment designed to keep glucose levels close to normal has been shown to reduce the risk of developing long term complicatons including retinopathy and slow the progression of pre-existing retinopathy in Insulin-dependent diabetes . It is not unreasonable to assume a similar effect in non-insulin dependant diabetes. Risk factors (see text box) need to be assessed and managed appropriately. The natural history and screening recommendations for diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy must be understood, since even advanced disease can be asymptomatic.

Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Overview Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the pancreas does not secrete enough insulin or the body is unable to process it properly. Insulin is the hormone that regulates the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Diabetes can affect children and adults. How does diabetes affect the retina? Patients with diabetes are more likely to develop eye problems such as cataracts and glaucoma , but the disease’s affect on the retina is the main threat to vision. Most patients develop diabetic changes in the retina after approximately 20 years. The effect of diabetes on the eye is called diabetic retinopathy. Over time, diabetes affects the circulatory system of the retina.
