What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?
What is diabetic retinopathy? While diabetes. diabetic retinopathyis the name given to the damage diabetes does to the retina.
http://www.eyecons.com/Retinopathy Pages/whatisdr.htm

Extractions: While people with diabetes have a higher incidence of several eye disorders, including cataract (a cloudiness of the lens of the eye) and glaucoma (high pressure in the eye), diabetic retinopathy is by far the major cause of visual loss in diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is the name given to the damage diabetes does to the retina. The retina is the microscopically thin and transparent membrane that lines the inside back wall of the eye. Light that enters the eye is focused upon the retina where it is converted to electrical signals which are processed and eventually transmitted by the optic nerve to the brain. Click the icon to see a photograph of a normal retina. Diabetes damages the blood vessels within the retina. With accumulating damage, the blood vessels form tiny blisters in their walls. These blisters are called microaneurysms and they leak fluid and other blood products into the retina. This leakage causes the retina to swell and malfunction. The swelling is detectable on a careful dilated eye examination, and the sites of leakage can be identified by photographing a dye (injected into a vessel in the arm) as it passes through the retinal blood vessels - a technique known as fluorescein angiography. Click the icon to see an example of, and learn more about, fluorescein angiography.

Five researchers at three German universities and two in the United States have found that something called benfotiamine blocks three of the four major pathways leading to damage from the most common form of diabetes-related eye disease. Rats with diabetes that were treated with this synthetic form of Vitamin B1 for 36 weeks did not develop any of the retina damage found in a similar group of untreated rats. Although benfotiamine has been widely used to prevent diabetic retinopathy in Europe for more than a decade, there are no double-blind clinical trials in humans. The could, however, start within a year. The study appears in the February 18 advance online edition of Nature Medicine.

http://www.mendosa.com/retinopathy.htm

Extractions: The most difficult problem for anybody who writes about health is to provide something of value to both professional and lay audiences. Yet that's what Dr. David Ormerod and his team attempted with its case study on diabetic retinopathy and its management The Virtual Health Care Team has written up a case about a person with diabetic retinopathy and resulting low vision. It describes medical treatment, rehabilitation principles, and resources. It's one of the interdisciplinary cases sponsored by the School of Health Professions and the School of Medicine, University of Missouri, Columbia. It seems to me that they have succeeded wonderfully. I know how much I prefer not to read about the awful complications of diabetes. The threat of losing my vision is not something that I prefer to dwell upon. But this case study is fascinating. The patient is called Andrew Cole. To protect his privacy that's not his real name and the pictures supposedly of him are actually of an actor. But the patient is real and not a composite. He is, in fact, a chiropractor practicing in a rural Missouri community, according to Dr. Ormerod. The real Dr. Cole had been diagnosed 19 years earlier with type 2 diabetes.

http://insight.med.utah.edu/opatharch/retina/diabetic_retinopathy_proliferative.

Extractions: Home Up Contributors Submission Information ... Site Map PROLIFERATIVE retinopathychanges may occur in the presence or absence of clinically visible background diabetic retinopathy. Neovascularization and fibrous tissue proliferation occur in response to hypoxia and may arise on the optic disc (NVD) (#22044) or elsewhere (NVE) (#9366). New vessels arise from primitive mesenchymal elements which can then undergo fibrous metaplasia. Associated changes include retinal wrinkling, macular heterotropia, thickening and detachment of the posterior hyaloid membrane. Ultimately, one may get traction from the contracting vitreous body which has become adherent to the retina via a pre-retinal fibrovascular membrane(#22047), thus producing vitreous hemorrhage(#22045) (which may fill the vitreous, directly overlie the macula, or promote formation of a dense posterior hyaloid membrane over the macula) and/or retinal detachment. Diabetes may also cause changes in OTHER AREAS of the eye. Ischemia may lead to the formation of neovascularization on the iris which is also called rubeosis iridis.
Diabetic Retinopathy (Background)
diabetic retinopathy is divided into three classificationsbackground retinopathy,preproliferative retinopathy, and proliferative retinopathy.
http://insight.med.utah.edu/opatharch/retina/diabetic_retinopathy_background.htm

Extractions: Home Up Contributors Submission Information ... Site Map Although diabetes may affect multiple parts of the eye, the most common area affected is the retina. Diabetic retinopathy is divided into three classificationsbackground retinopathy, pre-proliferative retinopathy, and proliferative retinopathy. Background diabetic retinopathy (#22034, #9365) is characterised by retinal capillary microaneurysms, some venous abnormalities, hemorrhages, exudates, and edema. Capillary microangiopathythe initial lesion of diabetic retinopathy. Microvascular obstructions and permeability changes; non-profusion of capillaries. The earliest changes occur in the capillary beds, then in larger pre-capillary arterioles (leading to cotton-wool spots) and are caused by deposition of PAS positive plasma derivitives onto defective endothelium. Retinocapillary microaneurysms(#22036)These develop adjacent to areas of capillary non-profusion. Basement membrane thickening. This also contributes to gradual closure of small arterioles.

Extractions: edit Human eye cross-sectional view. Courtesy NIH National Eye Institute The retina is a light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. When light enters the eye, the retina changes the light into nerve signals. The retina then sends these signals along the optic nerve to the brain. Without a retina, the eye cannot communicate with the brain, making vision impossible. edit Diabetic retinopathy occurs when diabetes mellitus damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina. At this point, most people do not notice any changes in their vision. Some people develop a condition called macular edema . It occurs when the damaged blood vessels leak fluid and lipids onto the macula , the part of the retina that lets us see detail. The fluid makes the macula swell, blurring vision.

Diabetic patients are 25 times more likely to suffer blindness than the general population. But the good news is that nine out of ten cases of blindness can be prevented if detected and treated early. John D. Matthews, MD., and John T. Harriott, MD., are fellowship-trained retina specialists at the Diabetic Eye Center at Southeastern Eye Center.
