Beware Of Neovascular Glaucoma, A Comorbid Illness Of Diabetes

One of the common eye diseases that appear as the effect of diabetes mellitus 
is glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a vision disorder caused by high fluid pressure in the eyeball.

The pressure then causes damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the eye and 
can make blurred vision, even disappear altogether.

Glaucoma that is commonly experienced by diabetics is Neovascular Glaucoma.

In this disease, there is a new blood vessel that appears in the iris so that 
it clogs the normal flow of fluid and increases the pressure in the eye.

People with glaucoma are often unaware of any visual impairment until an 
advanced vision is damaged.

It is estimated that 50% of glaucoma patients do not realize they suffer from 
the disease until they suffer severe eye damage.

Patients with glaucoma usually experience some symptoms.

These symptoms include pain in the eyes, headache, and begin to see the shadow 
of a circle around the light.

Then, the eyes will also be flushed and often foggy.

If not quickly handled, glaucoma vision will be narrowed and eventually can not 
see at all or blind.

Glaucoma can be treated with eye drops, medications for swallowing, laser 
action or surgery aimed at decreasing / stabilizing eyeball pressure and 
preventing further vision impairment.

The earlier the glaucoma detection will be the greater the success rate of 
preventing vision damage.

This disease can not be cured. Treatment of glaucoma is only done to reduce 
pressure on the eyes and prevent the spread of damage to the eye.

Therefore, if you already begin to feel some of the above symptoms, do not 
hesitate to immediately go to an ophthalmologist.

Prevention of glaucoma as a diabetic complication of the eye for diabetics, 
differentiated between patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

For type 1 diabetics should have extensive eye examinations at an 
ophthalmologist within three to five years after diagnosis.

And for type 2 diabetics should perform extensive eye examination at the 
ophthalmologist immediately after diagnosis.
