Diabetic patients with long-term uncontrolled hyperglycemia are prone to a variety of complications, of which diabetic fundopathy is one of its common complications. The patient usually has symptoms such as dark shadows in front of the eyes, decreased vision, and even fundus hemorrhage and retinal detachment.
Once diagnosed, diabetic combined fundopathy can be treated with anti-oxidative stress medications such as lipoic acid and drugs that nourish peripheral nerves such as methylcobalamin and linoleic acid. The use of vasodilators to improve microcirculation in the central artery of the fundus has been used to achieve relief. In addition, anti-aldose reductase inhibitors such as epalrestat can be used, etc. It is also important to control blood glucose with reasonable use of hypoglycemic drugs, and only when blood glucose is stabilized within the normal range can damage to the fundus be reduced.
If the diabetic fundus has reached an advanced stage and a fundus examination is performed, the fundus is found to be accompanied by exudation, with neovascularization, vitreous accumulation of blood, and other conditions, drug therapy is not effective. At this time, it is recommended to visit the ophthalmology department in time, and laser surgery is needed to improve fundus bleeding and prevent blindness.
