    Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common causes of blindness in middle-aged and elderly people, and the occurrence of this disease is closely related to the degree of metabolic disorders, the duration of the disease, genetic factors and diabetes control.

    Diabetic retinopathy due to abnormal retinal microcirculation, early manifestations of the basement membrane of the cells lining the blood vessels, the disappearance of pericytes, and then the cells of the inner wall also begin to be damaged, and the auto-regulation function of the capillaries is decompensated, so the barrier function of the cells in the inner wall of the capillary is impaired, the blood components are exuded, the capillaries are occluded, and the formation of retinal edema and neovascularization can be caused due to extensive retinal ischemia.

    Complications caused by chronic cystoid macular edema and neovascularization, such as vitreous hemorrhage and traction retinal detachment, are the main causes of vision loss or loss in patients with diabetic retinopathy and are the most serious complications.

    Diabetic retinopathy should strictly control blood sugar, regularly check the fundus, if there is macular edema, macular grid-like photocoagulation can be performed, for the vitreous volume blood that has occurred for a long time is not absorbed, traction retinal detachment, especially when the macula is involved, vitrectomy should be performed, and retinal laser photocoagulation should be performed at the same time.

    In Western countries, macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 50, and in the United States, macular degeneration causes more blindness than glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy combined.

    In China, the incidence of macular degeneration is not low, with an incidence of 60-69 years old. With the acceleration of the aging of the Chinese population, the disease has a clear upward trend.

    At the 121st AAO 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, there was a report on the progress of research on macular degeneration, in which two clinical trials of early stem cell ** macular degeneration were listed, and the experimental results showed that it is possible to use human stem cells ** dry macular degeneration. The stem cells injected into the eye have replaced the missing cells destroyed by the disease and are not severe; One of the studies showed that it could even improve the vision of patients.

    In both studies, the researchers transformed stem cells into cells called retinal pigment epithelial (RPE), a type of retinal Sertoli cell, and injected them into the eyes of blind patients over the age of 55 with dry macular degeneration (AMD).

    In a healthy retina, RPE cells provide support functions for photoreceptors, such as nutrition and waste management, and cells that process light allow us to see. Dysfunction and degeneration of RPE cells are part of the process that leads to visual loss in age-related macular degeneration.

    Regenerative medicine experts believe that macular degeneration will become one of the top areas for stem cell success!

    Hopefully, the above answers can answer your confusion, and the effect of stem cells** diabetic retinopathy is significant. If you have a child in the family who is in the period of tooth replacement, it is recommended to store the detached deciduous dental pulp stem cells in advance for later diseases** and anti-aging.

    Yes, diabetic retinopathy is divided into several stages, and it is necessary to pay attention to it after the third stage, laser and surgery, but the early symptoms of this disease are not obvious, many people can't find it, and the symptoms are already very serious, now the eye hospital has an eye examination specifically for diabetic people, detailed examination of the fundus, it is very convenient, aunt and uncle are three high people, one high blood pressure, one high blood sugar, two went to Xiamen ophthalmology for an eye examination, I have to say that there are many three high people

    Surgery**Proliferative diabetic retinopathy In recent years, for patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, when there are more organicities in the vitreous, and the electroretinography is normal, vitrectomy can be used to remove the intravitreal organics to prevent traction retinal detachment and appropriately improve visual acuity.

    Diabetic retinopathy is completely fine in the stage, stage, stage, which is now called the non-proliferative stage. But when there is a stage, stage, stage of the fundus, which is now called proliferative retinopathy, there is no way to make it **, but there is a way to delay the development. The so-called stage, stage, stage patients have microhemangioma, a small amount of bleeding, a small amount of hard or soft exudation, these are early lesions, can be considered.

    However, if the patient has the formation of new blood vessels in the fundus, or even vitreous hemorrhage, it is a proliferative lesion.

    If the diabetic patient has poor blood sugar control, retinopathy develops to the proliferative stage, vitreous hemorrhage does not absorb for more than 1 month, or the retina has a proliferative membrane and retinal detachment, affecting central vision, surgery is necessary**. The goal of the surgery is to remove the hemorrhage, remove the proliferative membrane, and reposition the retina while further enhanced laser photocoagulation** is performed. Drugs are not effective, and it is easy to lose time, leading to blindness.

    Hello, diabetic retinopathy is difficult to completely, because diabetes itself is a disease that cannot be completely developed, so due to the development of diabetes itself, its complications cannot be completely **. However, it is possible to effectively control diabetic retinopathy, and now the progression of diabetic retinopathy can be effectively controlled through drugs, intraocular injections, lasers and even surgery, so as to protect the patient's vision as much as possible and try to avoid the occurrence of blindness.

    The most basic ** is to strictly control blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood lipids.

    Have a regular fundus exam, usually once a year.

    According to the stage of diabetic retinopathy, the corresponding **, such as panretinal laser photocoagulation**, vitrectomy surgery, intravitreal injection of drugs, etc.

    Hello, there is a correlation between diabetes and retinopathy!

    The eye is a typical manifestation of microcirculatory disorders, which can cause a series of pathological changes, such as exudation, edema, vascular blockage, tissue and neovascularization, etc., and then cause intraocular hemorrhage, increased intraocular pressure (glaucoma), cataract and retinal detachment (retina refers to a thin film on the inner surface of the eyeball equivalent to the function of a photographic film, once it leaves its normal position, it will detach, and it will lose the function of transmitting photosensitive information) and blindness.

    The occurrence of ocular complications is related to the duration of diabetes, and the occurrence of ocular complications occurs in 50% of patients with a history of 8 years. Almost all patients with a 20-year history of the disease have ocular complications, but the severity of the disease varies. It is also associated with good diabetes control.

    Good blood sugar control can delay the onset and progression of ocular complications. If you have diabetes, it is important to have an ophthalmologist examine the fundus (i.e., examine the inside of the eye through the pupil) and continue to have regular check-ups in the future. In this way, we can achieve early detection and early **, and the effect is good.

    Hello: Diabetes mellitus is a very harmful systemic disease, which is a disorder of glucose metabolism caused by pancreatic secretion dysfunction. There are a variety of ocular complications that can arise due to elevated blood sugar, the most common ones are:

    Abnormal refractive changes in the eye: Diabetic patients will reduce the ion concentration in the aqueous humor due to the sudden increase in blood sugar, and the increase in the convexity of the lens due to excessive inhalation of water can lead to myopic refractive error, on the contrary, when the blood sugar decreases, the lens will lose water and hyperopic refractive error will occur, and it is often accompanied by obvious astigmatism. Therefore, when diabetic patients have sudden vision loss, they should undergo ophthalmometric refraction.

    Diabetic cataract: Diabetic patients often have opacity of the lens, and the cataract complicated by juvenile diabetic patients is generally called true diabetic cataract. Diabetes also promotes the development of senile cataracts and accelerates their maturation.

    Diabetic optic encephalopathy: It is the most common and serious diabetic eye complication, and is now one of the important diseases that cause blindness in the world. Diabetic optic reticitis often occurs in patients over the age of 40 who have had diabetes for a long time, and repeated vitreous hemorrhage and neoangiogenesis can lead to proliferative opticitis, resulting in severe vision loss and even blindness.

    Paralytic strabismus: paralytic strabismus is common in patients with diabetes and is thought to be related to polyneuritis caused by diabetes. The main manifestations are sudden appearance of visual pairing, limited eye movement, vertigo and unsteady gait.

    Other diabetic eye complications include uveitis, optic nerve optic meningitis, and neovascular glaucoma. For diabetic ocular complications**, blood sugar should be controlled first. Refractive anomaly vision loss caused by sudden changes in blood glucose usually resolves spontaneously after blood glucose stabilizes, and if vision does not recover after glycemic control, it should be corrected with glasses.

    Patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by cataract should be treated with local intraocular infusions, catarrin, intracatual arrest, etc., and intraocular lens implantation should be done when the cataract matures. Diabetic optic membrane lesions are chronic progressive eye diseases, which eventually lead to severe vision loss and even blindness in patients. The best principle of diabetic paralytic strabismus is to control blood sugar first, and at the same time combine a large number of vitamins, neurotrophic agents and other drugs.

    A: Yes. Abnormal retinal vasoconstriction with laser photocoagulation reduces the risk of severe vision loss in 90% of such diabetic retinopathy.

    When macular edema is present, laser photocoagulation can also be used, in which the leaking retinal blood vessels are closed with a laser. However, laser surgery often does not restore the vision that has been lost. That's why early detection of diabetic retinopathy is the best way to prevent vision loss.
