Aunt Liu, who is from Yongxing, Chenzhou, has been suffering from diabetes for 17 years, and her children are very worried about her health. In order to take better care of her, Aunt Liu and his wife were taken to Jiangmen, Guangzhou to live together. One day, Aunt Liu’s eyes suddenly appeared blurred. Aunt Liu realized that there might be a problem with her eyes. In order to recover her eyes, Aunt Liu and her wife hurried from Jiangmen to Chenzhou Aier Eye Hospital.
It is reported that in May 2021, Aunt Liu was recommended by her relatives because she could not see well. She learned that Liu Xiangyang, the vice president of Chenzhou Aier Eye Hospital, has made great achievements in the treatment of fundus diseases. I came to Chenzhou Aier Eye Hospital and found President Liu. After a detailed ophthalmological examination, Aunt Liu suffered from diabetic retinopathy and complicated cataract. President Liu performed cataract surgery on her right eye + retinal laser treatment for both eyes.
The operation solved the problem of Aunt Liu’s blurred vision and better controlled the development of retinopathy. The operation was relatively successful. Aunt Liu said that the whole field of vision became brighter at that time, and life became more convenient.
It is well known that retinopathy caused by diabetes can lead to damage to retinal microvessels. It is difficult for patients to detect it in the early stage, and it is often difficult to seek medical treatment after vision loss in the later stage, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of treatment and seriously affect the recovery of patients’ vision and even cause blindness. . At the same time, it is also a difficult disease. If blood sugar is well controlled, there is no way to prevent its occurrence and development. It is especially important to maintain good living habits and regular check-ups.
Because diabetic retinopathy is special, in order to protect the vision of patients, the hospital will regularly visit to understand the development of the patient’s eye disease, and will also leave contact information for each discharged patient in case of emergency. In July of the same year, Aunt Liu suddenly felt that the vision in her right eye was unclear. She had a treatment experience and felt that something was wrong. She immediately contacted the medical staff of Chenzhou Aier Eye Hospital to explain the situation. President Liu gave her a detailed answer and suggested She seeks medical attention as soon as possible. Aunt Liu, who was far away, did not seek medical treatment nearby, and chose to return to Chenzhou Aier Eye Hospital for treatment.
Aunt Liu came to Chenzhou Aier Eye Hospital for the third time in April this year. Aunt Liu’s left eye also had fundus hemorrhage due to diabetic retinopathy. President Liu led the fundus team to study and decided to perform 25G minimally invasive vitrectomy for Aunt Liu. This surgical incision is small, the postoperative reaction is small, and no sutures are required, which can greatly shorten the postoperative recovery time.
Because Aunt Liu is highly vigilant about the disease and can be treated in time, the visual acuity of the right eye, which might otherwise be blind, remains stable at 0.4 and 0.3 in the left eye. In order to thank the medical staff for her long-term eye health and dietary guidance after she was discharged from the hospital, Aunt Liu’s husband also wrote a letter of thanks for our staff.
President Liu said that if diabetic retinopathy is not actively treated, it will eventually lead to blindness. In the case of Aunt Liu, her eyesight can remain stable after three operations, which has a lot to do with her timely medical treatment and active treatment. To be firmly trusted by patients is a high recognition of the medical staff of the hospital. I hope that all patients with diabetes can do regular eye fundus examinations every year in addition to controlling blood sugar, so as to prevent them from happening.
It is reported that Chenzhou Aier Eye Hospital has also set up a special outpatient clinic for diabetic eye disease to better serve every diabetic patient. Diabetic retinopathy is not terrible, control blood sugar well, prohibit overeating, regular fundus examination. Achieve early detection, early prevention, early control, timely medical treatment, and protect your own clear vision.
