Blood sugar is high in the body, does eye suffer first? These 3 phenomena suggest that diabetic eyes have appeared

Diabetes is a chronic disease caused by insufficient insulin secretion and utilization defects in the body.

After suffering from diabetes, we can only stabilize the condition by controlling blood glucose, otherwise the continuous high blood glucose will cause damage to multiple systems of the human body and various complications.

Many patients do not know that after suffering from diabetes, the eyes will be more "fragile" than normal people. When people's eyes are damaged, it will cause the following discomfort symptoms.

1. Abnormal vision

Now more and more people become short-sighted, mainly because of improper use of eyes, long-term contact with electronic products, resulting in poor eyesight.

If diabetic patients do not control blood glucose, it will also affect the optic nerve, leading to retinal ischemia and hypoxia, retinal vein is prone to leukoplakia, making the vision of patients become worse and worse.

Prolonged hyperglycemia can also easily cause retinopathy in diabetic patients.

According to clinical statistics, the longer the course of diabetes, the greater the risk of suffering from eye complications. For example, in patients with diabetes less than five years, the risk of retinopathy is about 28%. If it is between 10 and 15 years, the risk of retinopathy will increase to 58%. In patients with diabetes more than 15 years, the risk of retinopathy is more than 72.7%.

In the early stage of retinopathy, patients may feel the black shadow floating in front of their eyes, sometimes they will see the deformation of the object, and they will feel the flash point of the eye. After this situation, it is best to go to the hospital in time to avoid retinal detachment, which will lead to the complete loss of visual function.

2. The pupil becomes smaller

Diabetics should pay attention to their eyes.

If you find that the pupil is smaller than before, you should be aware that the nerve of the eye has been damaged by hyperglycemia, which leads to the abnormal contraction ability of the pupil. At the same time, patients will feel their vision is getting worse and worse.

3. The eyes are bright, twinkle and shed tears

If you usually see that the eyes of diabetics are brighter than usual, and diabetics always feel that their eyes are tearful, they should be vigilant because their blood sugar is not under control. abnormal glucose metabolism in the eyes causes discomfort caused by the repeated secretion of tears.

In addition to the above three aspects, diabetic patients with eye lesions are also prone to cataract.

Due to the high blood glucose level, the abnormal glucose metabolism of the eyes forms sorbitol, which is easy to cause the crystal to become turbid or fiber swelling due to a large amount of accumulation in the lens of the eyes, making people's vision abnormal.

After suffering from diabetes, patients should try to light diet, but also appropriate physical exercise, promote blood circulation, help to reduce blood sugar and improve their immunity, so that the body does not suffer too much damage.

It is also recommended that patients go to the hospital to have their eyes checked regularly, and not because they are afraid of trouble or costing money.

Otherwise, after the occurrence of diabetic ophthalmopathy, it will not only affect vision, but also lead to the complete loss of vision, which will have a great impact on life.

In the examination, if the eye has been found to have lesions, we can take timely measures to reduce the damage to the eyes and avoid blindness.
