Diabetic Retinopathy

I have been to the optician and he is concerned because the puff test indicates pressure behind my right eye. I have been to my GP and had my blood pressure taken and a number of other blood tests which have all come out normal. why is my optician so concerned?

Is it normal to have a gray shade still a week after surgery?

Basically, the lack of liquids in your body system. Actually.... A rise in plasma osmolality triggers thirst which in turn excites the hypothalamic thirst center. The hypothalamic thirst center neurons are stimulated when their osmoreceptors lose water by osmosis to the hypertonic ECF or are activated by angiotensin II, by baroreceptor inputs, or other stimuli.

Sudden change in blood pressure in the blood vessles around the the optice nerve will sometimes produced tiny currents that the optic nerve percieves as tiny spots. Think, were you changing position just before you noticed the tiny spots? Laying down then sitting or standing up? Sitting and then standing? Bending over then straightening up? Or do you have a cold and your nose is stuffed up? That too, can make the little changes in Blood pressure, localized around the optic nerve.

It's really nothing to worry about. Just about everyone has these but, most don't even notice it or aren't aware of it

teething ( when there teeth are starting to come through) there are creams to use for that.....

it could be something more serious so u may need to go and see the gp if it continues

The cause of seeing an oval prism light in both eyes could be a seizure. Alternatively, it could be aphasia. It is best to consult an eye doctor.

blow your eye up

The vitreous humor of the eye has an average pH of 7.29 which is just slightly alkaline. Diabetes characteristically causes an abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye which can result in bleeding into the vitreous humor, which will lower the pH (although the pH is not the problem, it is the opacity of the blood which obscures vision).

the light that gets into it

You could have a clogged or occluded nasolacrimal duct. The tears are produced by the lacrimal glands on the upper/outer area of the eye, wash across the eyeball and go into the small hole on the inner aspect of the lower eyelid. This is the opening for the nasolacrimal duct which carries the tears into the nose. If it becomes blocked for any reason the tears have nowhere to go except down your cheek. It can be flushed out by an ENT doctor.

When my daughter was young she would tell me that the red colour in Target stores made her feel like she wanted to faint. She is now in her teens and no longer complains of it. I often wondered what it meant.

In diabetic retinopathy, the retinopathy is the manifestation.

There are inner lenses within your eyes that actually move and change in order to focus from short distance to long distance, this is typically involuntary since no one physical thinks about how the eyes focus in order to actually do so. As you get older your lenses take a shape which are suitable for the range of sight you typically use. In some cases a persons lenses will be ill adjusted and require glasses or contacts in order to see better, as a result of short-sightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism

Unmodifiable risks for the development of diabetic retinopathy include factors such as the duration of diabetes, with longer disease duration increasing the risk. Age is another significant factor, as older individuals are more susceptible to the condition. Additionally, a family history of diabetic retinopathy can predispose individuals to develop the disease, highlighting genetic influences. Lastly, the type of diabetes—Type 1 or Type 2—also plays a role, with Type 1 diabetes generally presenting a higher risk over time.

Tractional retinal detachment (TRD) secondary to diabetic retinopathy occurs when the fibrous scar tissue, which forms as a complication of diabetes, contracts and pulls on the retina, leading to its separation from the underlying tissue. This condition is often a result of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, where abnormal blood vessels grow and can cause scarring. TRD can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly, typically requiring surgical intervention such as vitrectomy to reattach the retina and remove the scar tissue. Early detection and management of diabetic retinopathy are crucial in preventing TRD.

A retinopatia inflamatória é uma condição em que há inflamação na retina, o tecido responsável pela visão na parte posterior do olho. Ela pode ser causada por infecções, doenças autoimunes ou inflamações sistêmicas, e pode levar a sintomas como visão embaçada, dor ocular e até perda de visão, dependendo da gravidade.
