Description

Diabetic Retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes that affects the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems and, in severe cases, blindness. Stages and Symptoms Diabetic retinopathy progresses through stages: Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR): Early stage, where blood vessels weaken, causing microaneurysms, leakage, and swelling. Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR): Advanced stage, where abnormal blood vessels form, leading to severe vision problems or retinal detachment. Common Symptoms Include: Blurred vision Floaters or spots in vision Difficulty seeing in the dark Vision loss in severe cases Risk Factors Poorly controlled blood sugar levels High blood pressure Long duration of diabetes High cholesterol levels Treatment Options At Dr. Sasi Eye Care Hospital, we offer comprehensive solutions to manage diabetic retinopathy: Supportive Care: Early stages may be managed with tight diabetes control through diet, exercise, and medication. Laser Treatment: Advanced cases require retinal laser therapy to seal leaking blood vessels and prevent abnormal vessel growth. Injections: Anti-VEGF therapy to reduce swelling and prevent further damage. Surgery: For severe cases, vitrectomy is performed to remove blood or scar tissue from the retina.
