What Is the Main Cause of Glaucoma?
Your eye constantly makes aqueous humor. As new aqueous flows into your eye, the same amount should drain out. The fluid drains out through an area called the drainage angle. This process keeps pressure in the eye (called intraocular pressure or IOP) stable. But if the drainage angle is not working properly, fluid builds up. Pressure inside the eye rises, damaging the optic nerve.
The optic nerve is made of more than a million tiny nerve fibers. It is like an electric cable made up of many small wires. As these nerve fibers die, you will develop blind spots in your vision. You may not notice these blind spots until most of your optic nerve fibers have died. If all of the fibers die, you will become blind.
When do I need a diabetic eye exam?
- If you have type 1 diabetes: Schedule eye exam within five years of your diagnosis.
- If you have type 2 diabetes: Schedule an eye exam immediately following your diagnosis. This type of diabetes is often only diagnosed years later, and detection of possible retinal damage is critical.
- Pregnant women with diabetes: Schedule an eye exam within the first three months of pregnancy, and then again one year postpartum.
After your initial eye exam, eye doctors recommend annual exams for continued monitoring of your ocular health. If your eye doctor detects any changes during an exam, you may be required to return for additional eye exams more than once every year.
