Diabetic Retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness in working-age adults. High blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, causing them to leak fluid, swell, or close off entirely. In advanced stages, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the retinal surface, which can bleed and cause severe vision loss.
Prolonged high blood sugar damages the walls of the tiny blood vessels supplying the retina, causing them to leak, become blocked, or proliferate abnormally. Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes can lead to retinopathy. The longer someone has diabetes and the less controlled their blood sugar, the higher the risk.
Medications injected into the eye to reduce abnormal vessel growth and leakage, the current gold standard for diabetic macular edema.
Retinal laser to seal leaking vessels (focal) or reduce ischemic retina (panretinal/PRP) to control proliferative disease.
Surgical removal of vitreous hemorrhage or tractional retinal detachment in advanced proliferative disease.
Precise laser application to treat various retinal conditions without surgical intervention.
