Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy, a common microvascular complication of diabetes, is the leading cause of visual loss. Diabetic retinopathy can cause retinal damage that could potentially result in blindness.

Overview


Uncontrolled diabetes can cause eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. The risk is influenced by age, diabetic duration, poor glycemic control, and blood pressure fluctuations. Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) is an early stage where tiny blood vessels leak, making the retina swell. When the macula swells, it is called macular edema. , proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) occurs when the retina grows new blood vessels, leading to neovascularization and macular edema.

Ayurvedic View


Prameha-Here the word prameha means root word 'mih sechane' meaning watering, here urination,' pra' means excess in both frequency and quantity. Due to a sedentary lifestyle and consumption of food that is heavy, unctuous, newly harvested rice, curd, excess of sweet taste, etc, virudha ahara (incompatible food), adhyashana (intake of food before digestion of previous food), etc, causes aggravation of kapha dosha, which affects dhatus like medas (fat), mamsa (muscle), udaka (lymph), etc, along with low digestive power, these dushitha dhatus (vitiated body fluids and tissues) is taken down towards urinary system, causing diabetes. Due to the predominant dosha inolved there are various symptoms but the main symptom is the excretion of aavila mutra (unctuous or turbid urine) with a change in the normal color of urine, when left untreated can cause complications in the eye, which affects the nerves, blood vessels and in turn affects the vision. Ayurveda way of approach is to correct manda agni (metabolism), bring dosha back to prakruta avastha (healthy, balanced state), reduce the symptoms, and prevent complications by ayurvedic panchakarma treatment and medicine, guiding towards following of healthy diet and lifestyle, prevent further damage of eye organ and improve the vision.
