Be alert! Blindness "killer" - diabetic eye disease

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and in addition to affecting organs such as the liver and kidneys, diabetes can also "affect" the eyes. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common and serious complications of diabetes, and is a major cause of low vision and blindness in adults. In addition to fundus pathology, diabetes can also cause cataracts, refractive abnormalities, eye muscle paralysis and other eye disorders, and if blood sugar is not well controlled, diabetic fundus pathology may develop in 5 to 10 years, even to blindness. Early detection and treatment are essential to slow down the progression of diabetic eye disease.

In order to let more people understand diabetic eye disease correctly and enhance the awareness of prevention and treatment, this Friday, Dr. Wang Shaoguan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology of Zhejiang Hospital, will bring a popular lecture to explain why diabetes hurts the eyes and the signs and symptoms of diabetic eye disease. There will also be free blood glucose testing and consultation activities, please bring your medical records for consultation.
