Poor blood glucose control, 57 -year -old men's vision is difficult to recover

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client August 12 (Correspondent Pei Nishang) "Never thought that diabetes would cause eye damage." On August 11, when he learned that he was unpleasant for diabetes, he was 57 years old. Mr. Zou regretted it.

Director Wu Zuhong is checking the patient.

Mr. Zou had a decline in his left eye three months ago. In the past week, pain occurred in the left eye. On August 11, he took the time to the El Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University. The results of the test found that the left eye pressure increased, and the vision was only 0.02. Mr. Zou, who has never had myopia, was surprised when he heard that his vision was only 0.02.

Wu Zuhong, director of the glaucoma department of the hospital, found in detail that there were many small blood vessels on Mr. Zou's iris, which was diagnosed as a new left -eye vascular glaucoma.

Mr. Zou has a history of diabetes for ten years, and blood glucose control is usually poor.

Director Wu Zuhong said that patients with diabetes have a long course of disease. Poor blood sugar control can damage the whole body's blood vessel nerves, including the blood vessels of the eyeball, producing microorisal tumors and new blood vessels. Newborn blood vessels can easily rupture and cause increased eye bleeding and increased intraocular pressure, and glaucoma; new blood vessels can also produce new vascular membranes to block the corners of the room or cause iris adhesion in the front of the eyeball, blocking the outflow of the water in the eye, leading to increased intraocular pressure, causing new life Vascular glaucoma -a kind of unpalatable glaucoma.

Mr. Zou's condition needs to be surgical after intraocular pressure, and the retina of the eyes also needs further treatment. However, the damaged optic nerve cannot be reversed and the vision is difficult to recover.

Director Wu Zuhong reminded: The newborn vascular glaucoma is chronic in the process of onset. Often, one eye starts to develop the disease first, and the other eye can be clearly seen, so it is not easy to be discovered by the patient. The early symptoms of patients are not obvious. In the late stages, they are visible to eye pain, accompanied by headaches on the same side, decreased vision, light, tears, etc. Once patients with monocular vision decrease, at the same time, patients with high -risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes need to go to the hospital to perform glaucoma -related examinations as soon as possible to avoid blindness caused by new vascular glaucoma.
