Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the retina, leading to vision loss if not detected and treated early through regular screenings and timely care.

Key Areas of Care

• Diabetic Eye Screening – Routine retinal exams for early detection of changes in diabetic patients
• Non-Proliferative Retinopathy – Monitoring and managing early-stage disease with blood sugar control and observation
• Proliferative Retinopathy – Treatment of advanced disease with laser or injections to stop abnormal blood vessel growth
• Macular Edema – Care for swelling in the central retina using anti-VEGF injections or laser therapy
• Combined Eye Conditions – Management of diabetic cataracts, glaucoma, and vitreous hemorrhage when present

Advanced Techniques & Technologies

• Fundus Photography – Detailed retinal images to document disease progression over time
• OCT Imaging – Cross-sectional view of the retina to detect fluid and thickening
• Intravitreal Injections – Targeted medication delivery to reduce retinal swelling and bleeding
• Retinal Laser Therapy – Seals leaking blood vessels and prevents worsening of retinal damage

Support and Recovery

• Diabetes Management Guidance – Collaboration with physicians to maintain blood sugar control and reduce risk
• Vision Preservation Plans – Ongoing follow-up and personalized care to prevent vision deterioration
• Patient Awareness Programs – Education on symptoms, preventive care, and treatment options
• Lifestyle Counseling – Advice on nutrition, activity, and habits to support long-term eye health

Early detection and proper management of diabetic retinopathy can protect vision and improve overall quality of life for diabetic patients.
