Canada's half a million or so diabetics Will go' blind as a result of something called diabetic retino- pathy; the, sad thing is, he' Says, many' of these ten thousand people could retain their sight by seeking early diagnosis and treatmento What happens in diabetic retino- pathy is that leaks occur in the thousands of little capillaries.that carry the retina's own blood supply. Nobody is quite sure why this occurs, but if it does, the retina loses its ability :to record a clear image — rather like' having dam- aged film in a •camera. Left untreated; this may lead to hemorrhage on the retina's surface or inside the eye; this creates a con- siderable dropping off in vision, with the viewer seeing things as' though through a smoky haze. "Quite frequently," says Dr. Speakman, "the initial problem simply goes away; but it usually Club Held Third Hallowe'en Party This was the Amberley-Huron Snowmobile Club's 3rd annual Hallowe'en Party and what a great time it was.

At that point, nothing can be done to reverse the problem." What can the diabetic do? "First," says Dr., Speakman, "regular eye/ examination is, a must. But in addi- tion, any disturbance of vision' should be reported to your doctor immediately." The point to remember is that changes in the eye can occur the diabetic or in anyone else — without symptoms; so, regular care . and checking of vision is important, As with other h'ealth problems, early detection is a real help to treatment, which, in the case of dia- betic retinopathy, consists of a so- called light coagulation method: laser beams are directed at the sur- face of the eye so that the leaking blood vessels are effectively "closed off.", An even newer technique allows ophthalmologists to remove Old blood and scar tissue with pencilAike probes. Dr. Speakinan pointS'out that it's not necessarily the most severely diabetic people who develop eye problems. Rather, it's a matter Of 'susceptibility. While failure to treat diabetic retinopathy can lead to a resistant type of glaucoma, and even to blindness, treatment is read- ily available. For the diabetic, good eye care makes very good sense. ell MIN NM I GOOD THINGS N HAPPEN I WHEN YOU HELP 11, I RED CROSS' IL 10 YEARS AGO NOVEMBER 1965 For the first time since 1873, the year the Lucknow Sentinel was founded, the newspaper was not printed within the Sentinel printing plant.
