RESEARCH CHARACTERISTICS OF EYE DAMAGE IN TYPE 2 DIABETES PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: to study the characteristics and rates of eye lesions in patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study in 57 diabetic patients with eye damage treated from March 2017 to July 2017 at the Endocrinology Department of Military Hospital 103. Results: Eye damage in diabetic patients were 88.6%, cataract were 75.44%, higher than other eye damage (24.56%). Diabetic patients with retinal damage in the non-proliferative stage were the majority of 88.12%, the non-proliferative stage of mild degree were the majority of 54.46%; in which most lesions are mild edema (67%), and local (62.07%). Cataracts damage in diabetic patients were mainly grade 3 (46.51%). Conclusion: Eye damage in diabetic patients were mainly retinal damage and cataract. Diabetic patients should have regular eye exams to detect early retinal damage in the non-proliferative stage.
