Diabetic Eye Disease

It is a diabetes complication in which blood vessels can weaken, bulge, or leak into the retina resulting in loss of vision.

Diabetes can lead to swelling in the macula (a part of the retina) which can lead to partial vision loss or blindness.

This is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve which connects the eye to the brain. Diabetes doubles the chances of Glaucoma.

It is the clouding of the eye lens and is more likely to develop in diabetic patients.

Anti-VEGF medicine blocks the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye. It can also stop fluid leaks, which can help treat diabetic macular edema. These medicines are injected into the eye by the doctor.

Also called photocoagulation, this procedure involves creating tiny burns inside the eye with a beam of light. It helps treat leaky blood vessels and extra fluid, called edema.

It is a surgery to remove the clear gel that fills the center of the eye, called the vitreous gel. This helps treat problems with severe bleeding or scar tissue caused by proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

The surgeon removes the cloudy lens in the eye and replaces it with an artificial lens. This promotes better vision.
