Noctura 400

How can diabetes cause Diabetic Retinopathy

When it's dark and you are asleep, your eyes need more oxygen.

When you have diabetes, high blood glucose levels and circulation problems can cause changes to the blood vessels in your eyes, which can lead to diabetic retinopathy.

The retina becomes starved of oxygen. Your eye tries to produce new blood vessels to deliver more oxygen to the retina. These new vessels are often weak and can leak fluid and blood, which affects vision.

Noctura 400 is designed to break the damage cycle every night while you sleep.

What is Diabetic Macular oedema?

Diabetic macular oedema is different from diabetic retinopathy, although you can have both conditions.

Diabetic macular oedema occurs when fluid leaking from damaged blood vessels reaches the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision, causing swelling.

Noctura 400 is a non-invasive therapy that can be used at any stage of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema.

What to watch for: Diabetic Retinopathy symptoms

Diabetic retinopathy can develop for years without any symptoms.

Symptoms may include blurred or sudden changes in vision, eye floaters or spots in your vision, double vision, or eye pain.

Diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema are serious complications of diabetes and are the most common causes of blindness among people of working age in the UK.

If you have diabetes, it is important to attend your annual eye screening, even if your vision feels fine.

Who is Noctura 400 suitable for?

Noctura 400 is suitable for adults with diabetic eye disease, at any stage, whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

Noctura 400 can be used alongside standard treatment and may help reduce the need for, or frequency, of conventional treatment, such as injections or laser.

The mask should not replace any treatment prescribed by your ophthalmologist.

If you have diabetes, you're entitled to a free annual diabetic eye screening on the NHS, here's what that covers:

📸 Digital retinal photography to check for early signs of diabetic retinopathy
👁️ Screening from age 12, every year, for as long as you have diabetes
📋 A results letter within a few weeks, with a referral if any changes are found

It's separate from your regular opticians' eye test, and it's easy to miss if you're not expecting the invite.

If it's been over 12 months since your last one, it's worth checking with your GP practice. 💙
