Leading provider of eye health services, New Vision Eye Center educates the public on the importance of controlling diabetes for eye health.

Dubai, U.A.E.: 18th July, 2016

Diabetes has long been on the list for being one of the world’s most debilitating diseases. It comes about due to poor blood sugar regulation usually brought about by a lack of interest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle by means of diet and exercise worsened if any genetic affiliations are present. Known for their work in successful treatments for LASIK in Dubai, New Vision Eye Center has found it important to educate the public on the importance of monitoring and treating diabetes specifically Type 2, for the prevention of eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy.

Due to the fact that diabetes is such a widespread problem, unfortunately diabetic retinopathy is now just as dangerous. An alarming percentage of the population has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes raising considerable cause for concern not just for eye health but one’s overall health in general. Furthermore, those who may be plagued with refractive errors will not qualify for LASIK treatment in Dubai as they are subject to a number of tests beforehand, one of which includes testing for diabetes. Due to the fact that patients of diabetes suffer from wounds that do not heal due to the level of sugar in their system, it is not possible for doctors to take a risk and operate on their eye.

‘Diabetic retinopathy affects blood vessels situated in the retina, which is where the light-sensitive tissues lie. They are responsible for receiving information from the outside world and then converting this information into images. To do so, the eye needs lights and when these light receptors are dimmed we have a problem. We always advise people to keep their overall health in check if they hope for good eye health especially when they age and keeping your blood sugar regulated is a major part of this. We cannot solve everything with LASIK eye surgery in Dubai, one reason being that it is suited to a different problem, another being that we cannot allow everyone to go through it since they need a completely clear medical health report before proceeding. If you notice any issues with your vision and you have been dealing with diabetes you might want to consider a diabetic retinopathy treatment course.’ – Dr. Safwan Al-Bayati: Founder, New Vision Eye Center
