At Eye Consultants of Texas, we go farther to ensure the overall health of our patients across Dallas\/Fort Worth. Here we are sharing information from a Reader\u2019s Digest Magazine<\/em> article (February 14, 2014) suggesting how your eyes can reveal certain medical issues at their earliest stages. Written by the physicians of the hit TV show, \u201cThe Doctors,\u201d it lists five serious medical issues eye doctors can detect early. According to the article, these include:<\/p>\n

High Blood Pressure<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Several studies have found links between heart disease and narrowing of the small blood vessels in the retina, according to a paper published in the American Journal of Medicine<\/em>. This can be especially true for people with traditional heart disease risk factors.<\/p>\n

Diabetes<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0A small amount of bleeding in the retina can be one of the first clues a patient might have type 2 diabetes. This is a symptom of diabetic retinopathy. By detecting this early, managing diet and weight can cut the risk of blindness in half and help prevent further damage.<\/p>\n

Rheumatoid Arthritis<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Rheumatoid arthritis affects small joints in the hands and feet. About 25% of these patients have eye issues, the most common being dry eye. People with rheumatoid arthritis\u00a0have high levels of inflammatory chemicals in their blood, which can sometimes migrate to the eyeball.<\/p>\n

Multiple Sclerosis<\/strong> \u2013 The inflammation of the optic nerve is called \u201coptic neuritis.\u201d In the article, Michael Munson, president of the American Optometric Association, says this doesn\u2019t automatically mean a patient has MS but can be a sign of the disease.<\/p>\n

Cancer<\/strong> \u2013 Specific eye issues can reveal various types of cancers, one of the most important diseases to detect early. Certain types of bleeding in the retina, and changes in a patient\u2019s field of vision are two examples.<\/p>\n

At Eye Consultants of Texas, your overall health is of utmost importance. While vision problems don\u2019t necessarily mean a serious medical issue, keeping your eye health<\/a> in check is as important as your annual physical!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
