Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy

DefinitionDiabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes affecting the retinal blood vessels.Risk FactorsDiabetic retinopathy is present in almost all individuals with type 1 diabetes and more than 60% of those with type 2 diabetes after two decades of disease.The risk increases with poor glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, pregnancy, and puberty.Although cataracts and glaucoma are also more frequent in people with diabetes, retinopathy remains the leading...

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Summary

Takayasu

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Vascular Biology
Rheumatology

Background:

Takayasu's arteritis is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease affecting large arteries.
Ocular manifestations can lead to significant visual impairment.
Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for preserving vision.

Observation:

A 63-year-old woman presented with progressive vision loss in her right eye.
Examination revealed retinal arteriovenous dilation and irregular arteriolar caliber.
The left eye showed severe atrophy and fibrovascular proliferation with no light perception.

Findings:

Fluorescein angiography demonstrated delayed retinal and choroidal circulation with peripheral ischemia.
Diagnosis of Takayasu's retinopathy was confirmed.
