From blood cancer to Alzheimer's, the doctor said that eyes also indicate these 7 dangerous diseases:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Eyes are called the mirror of our body. The biggest reason for this is the part inside the eyes, which we call retina. Retina is the only part of our body where blood vessels can be seen directly without any surgery. For this reason, eye examination has become not only for vision but also a way to detect hidden diseases of the body.

To know about this, we got information from Dr. Pawan Gupta (Senior Cataract and Retina Surgeon, I7 Hospital, Lajpat Nagar and Vision Eye Clinic, New Delhi). He explained in detail how retina related diseases also indicate other health problems. Let's know -

Diabetic Retinopathy

Dr. Pawan Gupta said that if someone has diabetes for a long time and it is not under control, then the blood vessels of the retina can be damaged due to it. This is called diabetic retinopathy. This also shows that other organs of the body are also being damaged.

Hypertensive Retinopathy

If you are suffering from high blood pressure for a long time, it can cause swelling or changes in the veins of your eyes . This can be clearly seen in an eye test. However, many times the patient is not able to know that he has a problem of high BP.

having high cholesterol

When yellow spots or blockage start appearing in the retinal veins, doctors suspect increased cholesterol levels. In such a situation, you need to be careful.

Thyroid disease

If changes are noticed in the position, movement or size of the eyes, then it is considered a sign of a thyroid-related problem.

neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's

Let us tell you that some research has revealed that signs of mental diseases can also be seen in the retina. Especially in diseases like Alzheimer's .

Autoimmune diseases

Diseases like lupus (SLE) or rheumatoid arthritis cause inflammation in the eyes, which can be detected during retinal examination.

Blood Cancer

In some blood cancers like leukemia, bleeding or accumulation of white cells can be seen in the veins of the eye. In such a case, you should immediately go to the doctor. To avoid this, you should keep getting regular eye checkups.
