Diabetic Retinopathy

What is Diabetic Retinopathy?

Diabetic Retinopathy is a diabetes-related eye condition that occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems or even blindness if left untreated. It is one of the most common causes of preventable vision loss among diabetic patients.

Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy

  • Blurred or fluctuating vision

  • Dark spots or floaters in the vision

  • Difficulty seeing at night

  • Impaired color perception

  • Sudden vision loss (in advanced stages)

Early stages may have no noticeable symptoms, which is why regular eye screening is crucial for diabetics.

Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy

Treatment depends on the stage of retinopathy and may include:

  • Control of Diabetes – Strict blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol control

  • Laser Photocoagulation – To seal leaking blood vessels and prevent further damage

  • Anti-VEGF Injections – Medications injected into the eye to reduce swelling and block abnormal blood vessel growth

  • Vitrectomy Surgery – For advanced cases where blood has leaked into the vitreous or scar tissue is affecting vision

Our hospital provides comprehensive treatment using advanced techniques to manage and reverse the progression of diabetic retinopathy.
