Retina damage in diabetes
Retinal damage in diabetes. Ophthalmoscope image of diabetic retinopathy, damage to the retina caused by diabetes. Changes to the retinal blood vessels (red) mean that they leak, causing small haemorrhages to form (dark red dots). Circulatory problems lead to the tissue lacking oxygen, and new vessels (thin mesh) develop to try to counteract this. However, these new vessels often haemorrhage themselves. This may lead to floating objects in the visual field, blurred vision, detachment of the retina and glaucoma. It may lead to blindness if untreated. Bleeding can be treated by laser photocoagulation, and blood sugar level maintenance can slow the diseases progress

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the devastating effects of diabetes on the retina. The ophthalmoscope image vividly displays the intricate network of retinal blood vessels, which have been damaged by this chronic condition. As a result, these vessels begin to leak, giving rise to small haemorrhages that appear as dark red dots. The circulatory problems associated with diabetes lead to a deficiency of oxygen in the retinal tissue. In response, new vessels form in an attempt to compensate for this lack of oxygen supply. However, these fragile vessels often succumb to haemorrhaging themselves, exacerbating the damage caused. The consequences of diabetic retinopathy are severe and far-reaching. Affected individuals may experience floating objects obstructing their visual field and suffer from blurred vision. If left untreated, more serious complications such as detachment of the retina and glaucoma can arise, ultimately leading to blindness. Fortunately, medical interventions exist to address some aspects of this condition. Laser photocoagulation is one treatment option available for managing bleeding within the retina caused by diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, maintaining stable blood sugar levels can help slow down disease progression. This thought-provoking print serves as a powerful reminder of both the fragility and resilience inherent in our ocular health while emphasizing the importance of early detection and appropriate management strategies for individuals living with diabetes
