What are the signs and symptoms of diabetic retinopathy? ... What types of treatment might be available in the future? 1. What exactly is diabetic retinopathy? Diabetic retinopathy is a condition in which high blood sugar causes retinal blood vessels to swell and leak blood. [top] 2. Who's at the most risk for diabetic retinopathy? Fluctuating blood sugar levels lead to an increased risk of this disease, as does long-term diabetes. Most people don't develop diabetic retinopathy until they've had diabetes for at least 10 years. [top] 3. Is there any way to prevent diabetic retinopathy? Keeping your blood sugar at an even level can help prevent diabetic retinopathy. If you have high blood pressure, keeping that under control is helpful as well. Even controlled diabetes can lead to diabetic retinopathy, so you should have your eyes examined once a year; that way, your doctor can begin treating any retinal damage as soon as possible. [top] 4.

   Extractions: Diabetic Retinopathy Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease affecting the blood vessels in the retina (the back layer of the eye) of people with diabetes. The small blood vessels in the retina become weak and break down or become blocked. Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of vision loss and blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the complications associated with the circulatory problems of people with diabetes. The longer a person has diabetes, the greater the risk of retinopathy. More than 40 percent of those who have diabetes for 15 or more years have some blood vessel damage. And some of these people develop the most serious result of the disease: severe vision loss or blindness. However, the disease does not affect only people who have had diabetes for many years. It can appear within the first year or two after the onset of the disease. For some people, retinopathy is one of the first signs that they have diabetes. Q: What is the best defense against diabetic retinopathy?

Information for Patients This pamphlet has been written to help people with diabetic retinopathy and their families and friends better understand the disease. It describes the cause, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is a potentially blinding complication of diabetes that damages the eye's retina. It affects half of all Americans diagnosed with diabetes. At first, you may notice no changes in your vision. But don't let diabetic retinopathy fool you. It could get worse over the years and threaten your good vision. With timely treatment, 90 percent of those with advanced diabetic retinopathy can be saved from going blind. The National Eye Institute (NEI) is the Federal government's lead agency for vision research. The NEI urges all people with diabetes to have an eye examination through dilated pupils at least once a year.

   Extractions: 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: 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. (Tylenol) is usually sufficient.

Research Funding In September 2000, the National Eye Institute convened a multidisciplinary group of scientists to explore whether recent advances in genetic research increase the opportunity for understanding the genetic predisposition underlying the development and/or progression of diabetic retinopathy. The goals of the workshop were to: 1.) Explore the epidemiologic and biologic evidence implicating genetic factors in the development and severity of diabetic retinopathy; and 2.) Examine studies on the development of diabetic nephropathy as approaches to identify genes for diabetic retinopathy. Recommendations Summarize existing data.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: 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.

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.

    Extractions: Search RNIB site for: About one person in fifty in the UK is affected by diabetes mellitus or `sugar diabetes'. This means that the body cannot cope normally with sugar and other carbohydrates in the diet. Diabetes can start in childhood, but it often begins later in life. It can cause complications which affect different parts of the body. There are two types of diabetes mellitus - one is controlled by insulin injections, and the other by diet or tablets, but they both affect the eyes in the same way. If you have diabetes this does not necessarily mean that your sight will be affected, but there is a higher risk. If your diabetes is well controlled then you are less likely to have problems, or they may be less serious. However if there are complications which affect the eyes then this can result in loss of sight. Most sight loss from diabetic retinopathy can be prevented. But it is vital that it is diagnosed early. You may not realise that there is anything wrong with your eyesight, and so regular eye checks are extremely important. How can diabetes affect the eye?
