Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease caused due to high blood sugar levels. The damage caused to light-sensitive tissues (retina) that are at the back of the eye is called Diabetic retinopathy. Both vision and light sensitivity are affected in diabetic retinopathy. Diabetes is a metabolic disease occurred due to a poor lifestyle, can damage multiple organs of the body varies from eyes to nerves. Uncontrolled diabetes for longer durations leads to diabetic retinopathy and if it is not treated can cause blindness.
Diabetic retinopathy can be seen in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. To prevent diabetic retinopathy, controlling blood sugar is the only option throughout life by following proper diet changes and fitness tips mentioned by the doctor.
There exist four stages to diabetic retinopathy to be noted by every diabetic patient. They are:
Mild Non-proliferative Retinopathy: This early stage of diabetic retinopathy is also known as background retinopathy which means tiny bulges (microaneurysms) in tiny blood vessels of the retina tissues. These vessels can leak fluids into the retina.
Moderate Non-proliferative Retinopathy: At this second stage of retinopathy, the blood vessels in the retina begin to swell which affects the carrying of blood and causes physical changes to the retina which leads to DME (diabetic macular edema). At this stage, your vision is affected and it needs an eye test every 3 or 6 months.
Severe Non-proliferative Retinopathy: In this stage, the blood vessels become even more blocked i.e. very much less blood flows to the retinas resulting in the formation of scar tissues. The lack of blood triggers a signal to your retinas to create new blood vessels. If these blood vessels close completely then it is called macular ischemia which leads to blurry vision with dark spots.
Proliferative Retinopathy: At this advanced stage, new blood vessels grow into the gel-like fluid in the retina that fills your eyes. This growth is called as neovascularization. These vessels are thin and can often bleed which causes scar tissue. This scar tissue is capable enough to pull the retina away from the back of the eye. This retinal detachment from the eye leads to permanent loss of vision.
Homeopathy treatment for this retinopathy caused due to diabetes is effective in slowing down or preventing the progress of diabetic retinopathy condition. To avoid further retinal damage and vision loss, the patient needs regular checkups and additional treatments based on the condition.
