-fluctuations in blood glucose levels can cause sudden changes in the graduation

Madrid, November 2011- more than four million people living with diabetes in SpainI figure that it represents approximately twelve percent of the population. These people are at increased risk of losing one of the most precious senses: vision. It is estimated that the risk of blindness in diabetic is 25 times higher than the general population. For this reason, the Council General of schools of Ópticos-Optometristas, on the occasion of World Diabetes Day, calls special so that people with diabetes conciencien of essentials that are periodic checks, because early detection and treatment can limit the potential loss of vision.

But periodic checks are not only useful for detecting ocular complications of diabetes, but that can also be keys to detect diabetes itself, as warns the President of the Council General of schools of Ópticos-Optometristas, Juan Carlos Martínez morality: “ sometimes, the first signs of diabetes are discovered during a routine eye examination ”.

Ocular complications associated with diabetes

Diabetes is associated with a group of eye problems that can result in loss of vision or even blindness. In particular, people with diabetes are at increased risk of:

– diabetic retinopathy is damage to the retina, the layer more internal eye, caused by an inappropriate glucose control over a prolonged period. Although most people with type 1 diabetes and many patients with type 2 diabetes will eventually experience some degree of retinopathy, early diagnosis and proper treatment can stop the loss of vision. People who suffer from diabetic retinopathy do not usually notice Visual drastic changes, especially at the start of his illness, when it can be treatable, what underlines the usefulness of the reviews periodic.

-falls, a darkening of the lens that blocks or changes the way in which light reaches the eye.

-Glaucomawhich is an increase in the fluid pressure inside the eye that causes damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision. Diabetics have double the risk of suffering from glaucoma than the rest of the people.

-Edema macular, an accumulation of fluid in the most sensitive area of the retina that causes blurred vision in the central or lateral part of the visual.

-the retinal detachment, one of the most common causes of blindness in diabetes, which occurs when blood vessels separated the retina in the back of the eye.

Changes in the graduation

In addition to these complications, in people with diabetes, fluctuations in blood glucose levels cause refractive changes, resulting in increases or decreases in visual acuity. In an episode of hyperglycaemia, lens experiences variations that lead to myopia, so the patient will have difficulties to see from far away. Controlling blood glucose quickly, just the opposite effect occurs.

All these changes are transitional until is reached the stabilization of blood glucose. So much so that continuous refractive changes may be a sign that the person suffers from diabetes, while already diagnosed patients often reflect a lack of metabolic control.

Disposable contact lenses, transitional solution

In these periods in which experienced refractive changes by a lack of glycemic control, the use of disposable contact lenses is recommended. “ Is a comfortable, quick and effective solution to avoid change of glasses lenses until graduation to stabilize ”, explains Martínez morality.

Reviews, according to the vital stage

“ 80% Of women dealing with their problem of varicose veins does so for reasons aesthetic and non-medical ”.

-varicose vein problems always require prior assessment of a vascular specialist

– a center of aesthetics can give the patient a partial solution or even cause complications such as thrombophlebitis or varicoflebitis

Vitoria-Gasteiz, November 2011- is one of the most heritable diseases known – more than 90 per cent of persons suffering from this disease has a family history – and their degree of incidence between the población is a not inconsiderable fact – 30% of women between 15-20% of men suffers from varicose veins at some point in his life, as it includes the study of the veins of Edinburgh, the C.J. Evans scholar. However, not all stakeholders try your problem for medical reasons. According to Dr. Santiago Rodríguez waiter, head of the unit of surgery clinic Vascular USP La Esperanza, “ 80% of women who come to deal with its problem of varicose veins, makes it more by an aesthetic issue which the medical problem that is ”Figure much lower for men.

Nor the motivations are the same, nor the means used either. While a large number of persons concerned consider varicose veins an aesthetic problem, the background of the problem is medical and prior assessment of a specialist is needed. “ In a center of aesthetics can give the patient a partial solution, or even cause complications such as thrombophlebitis or varicoflebitis, if not performed the necessary prior study. Very few centres derive the patient to a specialist to perform an initial assessment that, as a minimum, we should make an assessment with Eco-Doppler (test diagnostic noninvasive that objective both Anatomy and hemodynamics of the venous system) ”, says the specialist of USP La Esperanza.

Varicose veins to represent a health problem, does not mean neglecting the aspect of aesthetics. “ Medical specialists treat the basic problem giving an aesthetic solution ”, confirmed Rodriguez waiter.
There are non-invasive techniques that perfectly cared for the aesthetic side, such as the use of radio frequency.

“ We were pioneers in Spain in the year 2004 in the use of this technique, which has greatly improved in recent years and system that gives an excellent result ”, adds specialist.

There are also varicose veins that cannot be treated with radiofrequency or conventional surgery. This is the case of varicose veins of pelvic origin. In these situations, “ access through venous catheterization through a vein in the arm and it is through embolization ”. This technique used in USP La Esperanza (vascular therapy of the pelvis) is minimally invasive and can correct the points of origin of these varicose veins that otherwise should be done by a rather more aggressive open surgery.

Groups at risk and prevention measures

Varicose veins belong to the Group of venous diseases and groups at risk are mainly women and those people who do sedentary work. Women assumed an added risk factor the hormonal changes during pregnancy and the weight gain during the same, as one major on the veins pressure is.

It is also necessary to bear in mind the component gene (is a disease that the vast majority of those affected inherits). For this reason, it is very important to take preventive measures, to avoid a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight. “ The use of elastic stockings special both women and men are also a helpful tool ”, said Rodriguez waiter.

On the USP hospital group

Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Madrid, USP hospital is the first hospital private group in the Spanish market. USP hospital now boasts a network of 12 hospitals and 23 health centres which assist 4,000 doctors that attend each year more than two million patients.
