Philadelphia (8/21/17)
Wills Eye Hospital provided 2,000 pairs of free solar eclipse viewing glasses this morning. All of the glasses were gone by 10:00 a.m.
The first person in line arrived at 4:30 a.m. and was interviewed by several local TV stations. The line wound around the four corners, encompassing the hospital at Ninth and Walnut Streets.
A diverse group of individuals stood in line, reading, listening to music, taking selfies and attending to their pets, as they killed time before receiving their glasses.
Wills Eye Hospital was recently honored among the best Eye Hospitals in the country by U.S. News and World Reports: Best Hospitals.

Roughly 90 percent of diabetes-related blindness could be prevented by getting an annual eye exam. Make that all important appointment with your eye doctor now!Recent health studies show that as many as 24,000 people lose their sight annually to diabetes and diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of blindness in the U.S.. Below are a few other surprising facts about diabetes54 million Americans have pre-diabetes and most dont understand itNearly 24 million Americans have diabetesOver 4 million in the UK have diabetesOne in 3 individuals with diabetes do not know they have itRecent research from the U.S. National Eye Institute showed that 8 percent of pre-diabetics were already showing signs of retinopathyLifestyle dangers to diabetes are physical inactivity, poor diet, and obesityDiabetes has genetic factors like family history and ethnicityDark Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Asian and Pacific Islanders are at greater riskOthers at greater risk include older people, those with gestational diabetes, obesity, and babies weighing over nine pounds at birthCheck for early eye problemsEarly phases of retinopathy can tag along with pre-diabetes. Dr. Anastasios Fokas, OD, of Queens, New York City, has seen for himself the way quickly eye problems can start with pre-diabetes. A couple of months back, he saw a patient that had recently been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. To check for early eye problems, hed a dilated exam. Sure enough, the disease was already at work.Call Your OptometristA medical exam the following day did indeed show the patient had diabetes. Whats more, her blood sugar level was more than quadruple whats normal. Insulin therapy and a fresh approach to diet and exercise came next.Dr. Clary talked with her individual about what she saw and clarified what it might mean. I would like you to have your blood sugar level checked right away by your family physician, she told her patient. Tell the doctor you want to get assessed for diabetes with a fasting blood glucose test, as your optometrist noticed some retinal bleeding.Were you aware that an eye exam can be the first hint to detecting diabetes and other hidden health issues? Locating health problems early may give patients a better chance at preventing harm through early treatment and management.A routine eye exam can show a lot of matters. Some can be downright life altering and life threatening for that issue. One doctor found out first-hand when she did the exact same thing she does every day she looked right into a patients mind. However, this was no ordinary exam.24,000 people lose their sight annually to diabetes annuallyThe eye exam was that the very first clue that the patient had that she may have diabetes.Right away, I found two tiny spots of blood in the retina of one eye, he states. Those blood stains were a sure sign of diabetic retinopathy.Fast forward a few months, and youd find a lot happier Dr. Clary and even healthier patient. The retinal bleeding had ceased, and her vision had started to improve, says the Virginia doctor. I think her vision has very likely been spared because she was able to catch her uncontrolled diabetes at the first stages, before major damage to her retina.I am glad I managed to help this patient protect her eyesight. That retinal examination really made a difference and its a good example of why I tell patients that a yearly eye exam can secure your vision and your health!Locating this early gave the individual a fantastic shot at preventing more harm. Dietary counseling, treatments and exercise, like laser treatment, can assist, says Dr. Fokas.The outcome is often that which we call diabetic retinopathyAs soon as I discovered the leaking fluids and the hemorrhaging, I guessed that they could be symptoms of melancholy, remembers Dr. Clary, who practices in the Washington, D.C., suburb of Ashburn, Virginia. In my 12 decades of experience as an eye doctor, that sort of bleeding usually signals that a buildup of sugar in the patients blood has begun to break down the capillaries that feed the retina.The outcome is often that which we call diabetic retinopathy a condition in which continuing damage to retinal tissue from diabetes can result in impaired vision or even blindness, if left untreated.When Kathleen Clary, OD, peered into her 48-year-old patients eyes, she saw blood and other fluids seeping from brittle and miniscule vessels in her retinas. The retina is the light and sight-sensing back part of the eye and with out that you dont see.So be sure to call your optometrist or doctor today and get your eyes thoroughly checked. Better to be safe than sorry.https://youtu.be/lC4L2S3u0TIFor more information visit our websitehttps://www.controllingdiabetes.co.uk
I would like all you Flickr members to just pause & think for a while.
You are looking at an image through the eyes of a person who is suffering cataract blindness.
I was unfortunate. I was born with bilateral cataracts which has dogged my vision for over 40 years.Thankfully, after countless operations & a lens implant my eyesight has regained to a level where i can enjoy life. New ophthalmic technologies have proven successful over the last 20 years.Over 98% of cataract surgeries are successfully completed without surgical complications, and more than 95% of patients have improved vision. Those patients whose vision fails to improve often have underlying ocular disorders, such as age related macular degeneration (ARMD), diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions. In some cases, these patients may benefit from other procedures or from low vision aids.
I use my camera to share with others the beauty which is sometimes taken for granted & passes us by unnoticed.
From when we first open our eyes in the morning until we close them at night, we must spare a thought for those suffering with ocular disorders.Especially those in third world countries where funds & technology has not reached that far & so the suffering goes on.
It is a living torment that i have fortunately escaped & this is my personal thank you for those who helped me regain my sight.
Do you realise.....how lucky you are ?

No, I'm not praying for a cure for diabetes in this photo!!! It's to show the limited joint mobility I have in my hands. This is also known as Diabetic Cheiroarthropathy (DC) (now there's a mouthful.....try saying that after a few glsses of rose!!!).
As always, here is a proper explanation of it taken from the internet as they can usually explain things much better on these websites than I can......... :o)(http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Other_associated_conditions/Musculoskeletal_Conditions/Limited_joint_mobility/)
"Limited joint mobility is a type of rheumatism that causes the joints to lose their normal flexibility. Although most common in the hands (where it is also known as diabetic cheiroarthropathy), limited joint mobility can also affect the wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles and, in some cases, the neck and lower back.
A classic sign of cheiroarthropathy is not being able to press the fingers together tightly in a palm to palm ‘prayer sign’. The affected fingers stay permanently bent (as shown in my photo above).
Although in itself limited joint mobility is usually troublesome rather than painful or disabling, it is closely associated with microvascular complications of diabetes - nephropathy (kidney disease) and retinopathy (eye disease - which I have already got and had several extensive laser treatment sessions for).
It is thought that about a third of people with diabetes have some degree of limited joint mobility. Like most complications of diabetes, good blood glucose control will help guard against it, as well as aiding recovery if it has already developed. Your healthcare team may be able to recommend exercises that will help restore some flexibility. Sometimes people are given steroid injections into the affected area and, in more extreme cases, where it is affecting a person’s ability to do day-to-day tasks, surgery may be required."
The Upper Limb Clinic also has some useful information: (http://www.theupperlimbclinic.co.uk/diabetic_cheiroarthropathy.htm)
"Diabetics have a higher incidence of hand problems than the general population. The reasons are not well understood but possible factors include: Abnormal accumulation of proteins in the tissues. This particularly involves collagen, which is the key contributor to the strength of tissues including skin, tendons, and ligaments. The composition of collagen is slightly altered, which can make it stiffer than normal.
Loss of blood flow in the tissues (ischaemia). Diabetes is complicated by abnormalities of the small blood vessels (micro-angiopathy). This is responsible for some of the most serious complications of diabetes, such as eye problems (retinopathy).
Diabetic stiff hand or diabetic cheiroarthropathy often causes a general sensation of "stiffness" or "slowness" in the hand. There is often some real loss of mobility in the joints, particularly the middle finger joints. This makes it difficult for you to bend the fingers right into the palm or to straighten them fully.
The condition is characterised by a number of specific problems. All are seen in non-diabetics but they are more common in diabetics. These can occur singly or together.
Flexor tenosynovitis is due to a thickening of the tissue lining the tendons that bend the fingers. This tissue is present from the wrist to the finger-tips. Thickening causes swelling of the palm and fingers. Rings may feel tight and the hand may ache. The palm and fingers may be tender to pressure. Tenosynovitis contributes to the finger stiffness. The symptoms are often worse in the night or on awakening. This is because fluid collects in the arms whilst you are asleep and inactive. When severe, it can cause a clicking sensation and even catching or "triggering" of the tendon.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is due to compression of the median nerve within a tunnel comprising a "U" shaped collection of bones with a tight ligament at the top. This causes 'pins and needles' in the area supplied by the nerve (thumb, index, middle and ring fingers). The condition is mainly caused by the tenosynovitis that squashes the nerve as it swells. It may also be contributed to by neuropathy (see 'Loss of blood flow' above).
Dupuytren's contracture is a thickening of deep tissue (fascia), which passes from the palm into the fingers. Shortening of this tissue causes 'bands' which pull the fingers into the palm. Once established, the background stiffness will persist and cannot be cured."
So there we have it.....you are now clued up on another lovely complication associated with diabetes!!!!

the United Nations World Diabetes Day (UN WDD) was observed on the top of Taipei 101 during 11/14 to 11/18.
According to reports, diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death by disease globally. Every year, 3.8 million people die from diabetes-related causes such as diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease), diabetic eye disease (retinopathy and macular oedema), diabetic neuropathy (nerve disease), cardiovascular diseases among others.
Recognizing the need of raising awareness among the people about the disease, the United Nations decided to observe the UN World Diabetes Day on November 14 from 2007.

Due to diabetic retinopathy, my right eye is in bad shape. I've had three laser sessions and three different injection series of stuff to try to get it better. None of that worked so it was on to surgery. It looks even worse from the inside. Between a line across my vision from a bubble in my retina (which will go away "some time in the future") and my enlarged pupil (which I didn't know until I took this photo!), I can't see much. Hopefully this will correct the problem. However, chances are high that this eye will develop a cataract in the next 10 years or so. The moral to this tale is: don't become diabetic, it sucks.
By the way, this is day three. I couldn't open it at all just after the surgery. Yesterday was a bit better. The mister says it looks like he punched me but without any bruising. It's kinda shiny because of the antibacterial ointment I'm using.
