egular eye care a mu t for diab
ic
Tina, a registered nurse from a
community hospital, thought' her
diabetes was wider control. She was
under diabetic therapy, and because
of her medical background, was well
aware of the importance of following
her doctor's instructions.
Unfortunately, Tina did not get
regular eye examinations, so she
didn't know that he was slowly
losing her vision.
After experiencing some difficul­
ty with her eyes, including floaters
and orne vision loss, Tina had a
tborough eye examination. S�e was
diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy.
Tina immediately underwent
laser therapy. The disease, however,
was so dvanced that she required a
vitrectomy, a surgical removal of the
vitreous fluid from inside the eye.

regularly, while the diabetic
retinopathy was mild in nature, laser
treatment may have stopped the
disease's progression.
The National Society to Prevent
Blindness warns people with
diabetes to seek regular eye ex­
aminations through dil�ted pupils,
People with diabetes are, 25 to 30
times more likely to go blind than
others. Early diagnosiS and treatment
are crucial in effectively treating
diabetic eye disease.
The triple threat of diabetic eye
disease include diabetic retinopathy,
occurring when there is uncontrolled
growth of tiny blood vessels in the
delicate layer of cells (retina) at the
back of the eye; glaucoma, a condi­
tion in which the optic- nerve is
damaged by fluid pressure inside the
eye; and cataract, a clouding of the
eye's lens.
Without treatment, all three can
lead to blindness.
"It's unfortunate," noted Dr.
Maurice F. Rabb, NSPB's medical
director. "Highly effective treat­
ment is available for the various
forms of diabetic eye disease, b,ut all
depend on early diagnosi and treat­
ment. Studies show that far too
often, people with diabetes only go
to see an ophtalmologtist after
sysmptoms begin to bother them.
By then precious time has been lost
and treatment may not be as effec­
tive."
"New developments in diagnostic
techniques, laser technology, and
medications have greatly increased

Scopolamine patches are pi ced on the skin just behind the ear and provide'
protection against motion ickne for up to three days. Nitroglycerin and

Implants are urgically inserted under the kin to provide controlled
