| Summary: |
Diabetic visual
complications prevention relies, on the one hand, on an
intensive metabolic control of diabetes and elimination
of coexisting risk factors for development of diabetic
retinopathy and, on the other hand on carrying out a
programme for early detection and treatment of diabetic
retinopathy. Proper treatment of diabetes, expressed by
good glycaemia control, proper arterial pressure
parameters and lipid concentration in blood reduce the
risk of heavy complications and extends life span and
improves its quality. An ideal model of screening
studies towards diabetic retinopathy is based on an
annual examination of vision acuity and eye fundus in
all diabetic patients, by an experienced ophthalmologist
using precise methods for imaging eye fundus.
Examination of the eye fundus completed with fluorescein
angiography make a golden standard in retinopathy
diagnosis and classification. The incidence of vision
loss due to diabetes is significantly lower in the
countries which introduced programs preventing
retinopathy than in those which do not have them. |
