Cataracts may cause blindness, but diabetic retinopathy leads more ..in NPDR stage vision lost. (10% of the world population are suffers from Diabetic)
Most common cause of reversible blindness = cataract, followed by refractive error Most common cause of irreversible blindness = glaucoma Diabetic retinopathy is a distant fifth in cause of blindness overall, though notably is it the only cause of blindness that increased between 1990 and 2010 worldwide.

Thanks for the Video =) You say the increased blood glucose 'for one reason or another' causes increased blood flow to the retina. What is the physiology behind this? why does high blood sugar have this affect on retinal circulation?
A hypothesis is that chronic hyperglycemia causes loss of pericytes, which play a role in regulating vascular tone, and loss of endothelial cells promotes retinal hemodynamic changes . Alternatively, fluctuations in blood glucose levels known to acutely alter retinal blood flow are also thought to contribute to microvascular damage.
So would a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus...if patient were to get hit in the eye and patient wasn’t provided timely medical attention for his eye can this cause the disease to speed up the process and cause early blindness ?????
This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, you have created a life that I thought was lost, thank you so much for curing my type 2 Diabetes
Concise and informative 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
The video was amazing , super helpful , thank you
Brilliant explanation! Thanks!
Hey.. Can you please make a video for retinal detachment.. Your videos are really helpful
Super super helpful!!! May god bless you and I wish you
good luck
Just a correction, cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide
Cataracts may cause blindness, but diabetic retinopathy leads more ..in NPDR stage vision lost. (10% of the world population are suffers from Diabetic)
Cataracts cause REVERSIBLE blindness whereas DM causes IRREVERSIBLE
Most common cause of reversible blindness = cataract, followed by refractive error
Most common cause of irreversible blindness = glaucoma
Diabetic retinopathy is a distant fifth in cause of blindness overall, though notably is it the only cause of blindness that increased between 1990 and 2010 worldwide.

Cataract and glaucoma can occur simultaneously with retinopathy. Diabetes also don't spare those areas
Thanks for the video. Its helped a lot. Very well explained and simple to understand.
Brilliantly explained, many thanks
You said "Macula aka fovea" that is incorrect, the Macula is the circle you drew while the fovea is a part inside of the macula.
An amazing video ❤
Thanks for the Video =)

I also want to know this

great video, super easy to understand thanks!
An excellent informative explanation
Thank you sooooo much❤❤
Can you explain about hypertensive retinopathy too?
thank you , amazing explanation
thank u baby
Very helpful, thanks
Amazing video
Amazing video thanks a lot🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
In diabetic nephropathy, microvascular weakness causes???
thank a lot dr mr beast
nice :))

Thankyou
No 1 cause of blindness in the world isn’t cataract?
thank you
👌🙏❤️
cataract is the number one cause of blindness.
thanxxxxxx

Why too fast😢😢😭😭

Nano-grade eye drops should be the last-ditch treatment for diabetic retinopathy.
