"I find it very difficult walking in unfamiliar areas as bits of the picture are missing". What is Diabetic Retinopathy ? Diabetic retinopathy is the name given to changes in the retina of the eye which can occur over a period of years, in some people who have diabetes. It is a potentially serious eye disease. In diabetic retinopathy, the small blood vessels that nourish the retina, (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) may begin to bulge, leak fluid, bleed, grow or cease to work. The disease follows no predictable course, and not all people with diabetes develop retinal changes. However the likelihood of developing retinopathy, or other eye conditions such as cataract or glaucoma increases with the length of time a person has diabetes. There is no set pattern to the way diabetic retinopathy affects your eyes. Current research shows that careful control of diabetes and early treatment of retinopathy improves the potential for avoiding impaired sight.

Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, heart disease and visual impairment and one of the major causes of lower limb amputations. "Common complications often pass undetected or untreated which can have devastating consequences for the person with diabetes", says Penny Williams, Care Advisor at Diabetes UK. "Diabetes is on the rise and the increase in levels of obesity, sedentary lifestyles and an ageing population mean numbers could double in the next decade." explains Penny. "This will undoubtedly put a huge strain on the National Health Service."

However, just because someone has diabetes, this does not mean that they will automatically lose their sight. The great majority of diabetics never experience any eye complications at all, and of those who do, the majority are unaware of the fact and suffer no ill effects. The retina (at the back of the eye) is made up of light sensitive cells, like the film in a camera, which are fed by blood vessels. When someone has diabetes, the blood vessels may weaken and break which in turn means that the cells start to die. This condition often results in patchy vision - parts of what you see are covered with dark patches - and can lead to total blindness if the retina becomes too damaged.

Amsler Test Damage to the eye is the most feared complication of diabetes. And no wonder: the eye is the one inch spherical marvel that gives us vision. Our vision is created when light reflects from things in our field of vision, gets focused by the cornea and lens, then travels through the transparent gel in the middle of the eye and triggers sensory nerves in the retina. The retina itself is an ultrathin layer of blood vessels and nerve endings called rods and cones, on the inner back wall of the eye. Signals activated by light in the retina travel to the brain cortex where a three-dimensional picture is given to the outside world. Vision lets us read, drive, and recognize faces, permits manufacturing and microscopy, and enables astronomy from ancient photons that left faraway stars millions of years ago. Total blindness in diabetes is uncommon since just under 2% of people with IDDM actually suffer total vision loss. However, the fear of losing one's sight is strong, as anyone with diabetes who's had a change in vision can testify. This fear can be used to promote self-care, but instead often interferes with taking the steps necessary to avoid vision loss. Diabetes is the most common cause of blindness in the U.S. among younger individuals, although most of this loss can be avoided with better control and through early detection of eye damage.
