Patient's question:
Doctor, my father wants to understand, regarding diabetic eye disease, does your hospital have any good methods for treating it? Mainly, many people have high blood sugar due to work pressure, and many people are prone to eye problems from looking at screens a lot. Please give some good advice.Doctor's answer:
Diabetic eye disease may be closely related to the duration of the patient's diabetes history and poor long-term blood sugar control. Prolonged computer screen use is often a contributing factor, but not the root cause. Therefore, it is recommended that patients visit the endocrinology and ophthalmology departments separately for follow-up. First, explain the purpose to the attending physician, and then proceed with thorough examinations including visual acuity tests, ophthalmoscopes, blood glucose tests, and glycosylated hemoglobin tests. If the examination results indicate diabetic retinopathy, treatment options such as laser therapy should be considered based on the findings. Additionally, for the diabetes itself, active blood sugar control treatment is necessary to ensure that blood sugar levels meet all target requirements.
