How Does Diabetic Retinopathy Damage the Retina?

Diabetic retinopathy occurs when diabetes 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.

As the disease progresses, it enters its advanced, or proliferative, stage. Fragile, new blood vessels grow along the retina and in the clear, gel-like vitreous that fills the inside of the eye. Without timely treatment, these new blood vessels can bleed, cloud vision, and destroy the retina. visit us www.ayurprakash.com

Routine diabetic retinopathy screening requires ophthalmologists to take retina pictures using high definition optical cameras.

It is very much specialized field. For analyzing macular diabetic retinopathy 3d pictures of blood vessels required. Generally such hospitals are equipped with laser photocoagulation equipments.

Opticians generally examine retina, but they don't have equipment to screen early diabetic retinopathy.

After diabetic ratinopathy is diagnosed, homeopathy is as good as other systems ayurvedic or allopathic system - key thing is to keep blood sugar under strict control - by daily monitoring couple of times a day.
