Your Brain Before Causing Eye Damage
Diabetes is known to increase the risk of vision loss. Among older people with diabetes, 10 to 20 percent have eye problems, and they get worse with age in all people. About 90 percent of diabetics will develop blood vessel changes in the eye after more than twenty-five years of diabetes.
Vision loss is caused by retinopathy, which damages the back of the eye. The back of the brain or occiput usually shows the lesion. The occipital lobe processes information from the eye to the brain through the optic nerve. Damage to the retina can cause the occipital lobe to shrink, but now the occiput can withstand diabetic damage before retinopathy develops.
- 24 Type 2 diabetes without retinopathy and
- 27 people without diabetes.
1:Diabetic participants without retinopathy showed occipital lobe atrophy compared to non-diabetics. These results show that diabetes can damage the visual part of the brain before retinopathy develops.
The occipital lobe is the part of the cerebral cortex that performs the highest functions of the brain. Most visual processing takes place in the Broadman area 17, or V1 for Visual 1. Information from the visual cortex travels to the parietal lobe, where it is combined with other sensory information to form an understanding of the environment. . The parietal lobe develops by age 5, helping children integrate space, touch, and volume and gain a clear perspective.
2:Diabetes is the most common cause of blindness in working-age adults. Every year, the prevalence of blindness increases with the increasing incidence of diabetes. Diabetes is the fifth most common cause of blindness in the world. This is mainly due to diabetic retinopathy. Can occipital cortex degeneration cause diabetic vision loss? Can both problems coexist? More research can answer this question.
Regardless of the cause of diabetes, the important thing is to control your blood sugar. So, stay tuned…
- diet
- practice and
- take prescribed medication.
3:Diabetes is painless when first diagnosed, but it can cause a lot of suffering. See your doctor regularly and follow his advice. If you have severe eye pain, see an eye doctor immediately.
