5 Signs and Symptoms of Diabetic Eye Disease - How Diabetes Affects the Eyes

I have had type 2 diabetes for a bit over 7 years. About 2 years ago I got this huge black floater in my left eye and couldn't see anything so I made an appointment to see my eyedoctor..it's a yearly thing since I was diagnosed with diabetes at age 52. Just before getting the huge black floater I have a slew of small tiny floaters and I got those golden flashes on the peripheral of both eyes. I just chucked it up from playing too many video games on my computer!!! Anyways..I was checked for retinal detachment and possible retinal tare. My eyedoctor did find I had developed cataracts in both eyes..left side more pronounced that other eye but no need for surgery just yet. At last eye doctor visit I had pink eye..and recently constant red eyes but not bloodshot looking...but i have lots wrong with me now cos i got hit with everything basically...first the huge eye floater, then an ulcerate small cut under my foot that had to be tended too so it woulded get gangrene and have to get it amputated. Then I got a csf cranial leak in april...then by summer I developed diabetic gastroparesis...by Sept had a second major stroke..and then in Nov was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer. The red eyes..not the bloodshot kind and not pinkeye kind has also become my new norm after my bone cancer spread like crazy..all thruout my whole body...hands/wrists..feet and ankles... and including upper spine/left upper shoulderblade and back of neck... and now in my lungs too. Never had any of these red eye, pinkeye issues before...just the odd annoying eye style mostly. What would cause my all over eyeballs red eye issue? .. weird thought...can the bone cancer do that? Heck I'm only 59 right now...but heck diabetes causes a lot of weird happenings...but i bet so can my cancer too..in a very weird way! Input please..thanks.
Oh btw...blurry vision and black webby floaters are now my constant norm since the past 2 years as well...when my sugars are very high...say 13 mols/l ... blurriness and black webby floaters become super nasty and severe vision wise. Most times now I can no longer see out of left eye at all anymore...it's the one with the more advanced cataract btw...half of eyeball has the shaded veil on the bottom half from halfway downwards. Anyways...

Eat twice a day low carb diet and fast for 24 hrs once or twice a week

Liaisons on the eyes

hi dr can i still were my contact lense and what kind of contacts would u recommend then

What’s this video to do with Jesus for Christ sake

Words failed me on how to appreciate you for sending your Herbs to me after I place my or order which cured my Diabetes Dr Igudia

Thank you sir! This was a wake up call for me to control my blood sugar levels!

My vision has been awefull the last 5 days

This was so hard for me to watch. I went through this a few years back. I'm 35 and I've had diabetes for 30 years. My diabetes was completely out of control for a few years in my late teens/early 20s. It was years before I experienced any symptoms. I started to notice blurred vision and soon after I experienced hemorrhages. Very severe and often. I had so much bleeding in the eye, the blood completely blocked my vision. I went through months and months of PRP laser treatments and injections to the eye. My peripheral vision was completely killed off in order to stop the requirement of blood to the eye and keep my centralized vision. Eventually, I had retinal detachment in both of my eyes and had surgery to remove the blood from the vitreous gel and to have my retinas welded back down. Was completely blind (only seeing movement and light/dark changes. I am grateful to have the vision I do now. I am able to live a normal life and have adjusted to not having any peripheral vision in either eye. The scarring also causes something like "blind spots" in my vision that makes it hard to read small print and focus in on detail. My diabetes is in great control now with an A1c of 6.4 and trending down but my eyesight changes were a long and life altering journey.

Thank you for this video. I wish I had been better educated when I was younger, I wish I had been exposed to the serious complications of diabetes. But, I have gotten a second chance and this (along with a few other events) really was a wake up call for me to change my lifestyle and really understand the seriousness of diabetes and its complications.

Doc where do u start to see eye problem related to diabetes. I mean at what A1C do they start at ?? In ur practical experience

Sugar, simple starches, cakes, anything made with wheat flour or rice flour, white rice, pasta are all POISON. I try to live on whole beans (with the skin still on) and whole cereals, and nothing else. Evil supermarkets dont seem to sell whole beans, cereal grains. And hulled whole oats cost a bomb.

I had a vitreous hemorrhage in my right eye. I had surgery yesterday and should regain my vision in 5 days.

I don’t know what I would have done without your help. Thank you so much for curing my Diabetes type 2 with your herbs Dr Igudia

I want to know about retinal vasculitis

Pls dr tell me about retinal vasculitis nd retinopathy in retinal vasculitis how much serious retinal vasculitis pls sir reply my

I only recently found out that i have most likely been diabetic for more than two years. That is when my health deteriorated. I never went to a doctor because I was always working and taking care of kids. I am finally on some insulin, but my vision has not cleared up at all. It's horrible, my vision was perfect before.

There's a Large Print Cookbook for Diabetic. It's Extra Large. "Diabetic Delights Large Print"

Excellent information...only wish you or someone else (A Dr) would have said something about this 25 years ago! Or while i was on active duty in the Marines!

❤️🙏

What is a major cause of progression of maculopathy obesity or Hypertension?

I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 on February 2023 before that I was having problems with my right eyes vision, I lost 70 percent of the vision on that eye.
I went to an eye doctor in Brooklyn and he injected something in my eye and the next day I was seeing better.
For the next 5 months he kept injecting my eye and for the last 2 months my eye and blood sugar keeps getting better.
Thanks to the libre 2 sensors I managed to keep my blood sugar low .
My eyes used to be in pains when ever blood sugar went over 120 now I don’t feel any pains on my eyes no more. I’m eating vegetables all the time .

My Husband got it now almost 3 months he cannot see but he say sometimes he see bright... but my question is still can recover the blindness?
Thank you

My dad has bleeding in his eye from diabetes, he’s starting injections today

Its not diabetes it's their drugs... their insulin injections are causing it.. go and look at medical malpractice lawsuits

My father lost his both eye because of diabetes is there any chance to get back his eyes ,if there any transplantation makes his eye sight back , pls reply me sir

If you reverse diabetes c an you stop retinopathy getting worse.

I’m terrified. How in six months do I have severe liver cirrhosis and a retinal detachment? I was in the hospital over a shattered leg surgery…

Yeah, I got blood in my eyes. Diabetes sucks.

You look blurry

What food to avoid

Is it true that we can't do heavy exercise such as weight lifting squad etc.

The lack of oxygen in the retinal tissue is one of the main reasons why new blood vessels form (which is very bad in diabetic retinopathy). Increasing oxygen levels has shown to reduce this process 👍

Thank you very much - very well explained

what about cataracts? is it also because of diabetes?

I just Got.
Pre diabetes. I'm worried about it.I do not know how to take care of it.😢

when i look at a plane colored surface i see red black blue and white dots i also have black floaters that wont go away

Last time i had my eyes dilated it took like 7 hours for it yo go back to normal

Can get glasses or anything? For diabetes

My eye doctor said he wished that people would STOP asking him about diabetes. He said by the time he noticed it, it would be in an advanced state.

Thank you so much irs very timely that i watcged your video, i have some of rge sypmtoms that was shared in this video.

After the past few months I began to notice while watching TV that I was constantly
my left hand lens on my glasses. It became apparent that it was not the lens on my
specs, but the eye itself. I am diabetic, and my blood sugar has been high for some
time. I had my annual retinopathy screening some time ago, and they sent me a
letter, telling me that on this occasion, they could not get clear pictures of the back
of my eyes, and have referred me for a "Slit Lamp" test. What does this entail, and
will this lead to having some kind of intrusive eye surgery? O by the way, I was born
with "Nystagmus" could this lead to complications, if I need eye surgery?

Do Nuclear RADIATION EXPOSURE leads to Dry Eyes, then Dry Eyes lead to Diabetes Eyes decades later ??

Alhamdulillah... thank you doc... masha Allah very well explained, i have been a type2 diabetic for almost 20 years, recently my sister-in-law had the bleeding and blury vison and underwent laswer treatment and dietry changes too, Alhamdulillah she'e fine now but needs to keep an eye on her sugar intake. Alhamdulillah ive been the thumbs up after my eye exam.

I have eye disease through diabetes.
I have been type 1 for 30years now but my eye problems started when i was 18.
Took nearly 2 years to get a scan done and by that time i had a lot of damage.
Long story short i have had many many laser surgeries to stop all the bleeding i had,i had to have cataracts removed from my right eye and because of that i have no focus at all in that eye.
I have had 9 injections in my left eye and 11 in my right.
My eyes are currently stable after all that but im now partially sighted have lost all peripheral vision in my right eye and my pupils don’t react properly to light so my pupils are always very different sizes which i find amusing because it makes the eye with the smaller pupil look like a zombie eye 😂.
Diabetes is no joke my eyes are just one of a few complications i have and believe or not the eyes aren’t the worst thing but the way i look at it is i still get to see when i wake up (even if it’s not great) and that makes me very lucky.

I have been recently been diagnosed as pre diabetic and am attending meeting to take remedial action. However I have wet dry eyes and most recently my eyes have become very sore and itchy.I have been using daily eyelid cleaning wipes and Systane hydration lubricant eye drops. The problem is that my eyes are getting worse and toay I find that my left eye is really sore and feeling gritty. My vision is not blurred but is as if I am looking through a mist. The vision of the left eye is not as clear if I try reading. Is any of this making any sense to you?
