Diabetic retinopathy - what does this mean
What happens during the disease - diabetic retinopathy
В развитии диабетической ретинопатии и её прогрессировании наиболее важное значение имеют два основных патогенетических механизма:
- Нарушение внутреннего барьера, который составляет эндотелий капилляров сетчатки. Из-за повышенной проницаемости стенок сосудов появляются отёки, твёрдые экссудаты (скопления жидкости) и кровоизлияния на глазном дне.
- Образование микротромбов и закупорка сосудов сетчатки. По этим причинам нарушается обмен веществ между кровью и тканью через стенки капилляров, появляются зоны ишемии и гипоксии сетчатки. Всё это, в свою очередь, приводит к появлению новых кровеносных сосудов на глазном дне.
Clinical Pattern
How does a doctor diagnose
- Comprehensive dilated eye exam
- Visual acuity test
- Tonometry test to measure eye pressure
- Fluorescein angiography
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
- Fundus photography
Treatment and Medical Assistance
- Regular eye exams with dilated pupil to monitor the condition of the retina
- Laser treatment to reduce the risk of further vision loss
- Intraocular injections of medications to reduce swelling in the retina
- Surgery to repair retinal detachment and/or remove abnormal blood vessels
- Blood sugar monitoring and control
- Blood pressure monitoring and control
- Healthy diet and exercise
- Quit smoking
