Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of blindness in the world. It damages the retina’s blood vessels (the eye’s innermost layer), resulting in retinal damage and visual impairment.

Symptoms:-

• Blurred vision
• Halos
• Glare
• Floaters
• Sudden Loss of vision
• Headache
• Blind spots in visual field

How is diabetic retinopathy diagnosed?

A complete eye examination is required for the detection of diabetic retinopathy. The retina of the eye is examined by doing a fundoscopy after dilating the pupils. If diabetic retinopathy is detected further OCT and FFA are done to confirm the diagnosis and see the extent of the disease.

Treatment:

Green Laser

Anti VEGF injection

Surgery

23/25G sutureless Vitrectomy
