Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye problem that happens to people with diabetes. When blood sugar stays high for a long time, it can damage the small blood vessels in the back part of the eye called the retina. This can lead to blurry vision or even vision loss if not treated in time.
In the early stages, you may not notice any symptoms. That’s why regular eye checkups are important if you have diabetes. Keeping your sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol under control can help prevent this condition. Treatments are available to protect your eyesight if caught early.
At Raghu Kamal Eye Care Hospital, we specialize in treating all stages of Diabetic Retinopathy:
This is the early stage of diabetic retinopathy. In this stage, the tiny blood vessels in the retina become weak and may start to leak blood or fluid. This leaking causes the retina to swell, which can affect your vision. You may not notice any major changes in your eyesight at first, but the damage can slowly get worse if not treated.
This is the more advanced and serious stage of the disease. When the normal blood vessels are damaged, the eye tries to grow new ones. But these new blood vessels are abnormal and weak. They can bleed easily and may cause scar tissue to form. This can lead to serious problems like retinal detachment or permanent vision loss if not treated quickly.
It puts extra pressure on the eye’s blood vessels and can cause damage.
It can block the blood flow in the eyes and harm your vision.
Having diabetes for many years increases the risk of eye problems.
It reduces blood flow to the eyes and makes the condition worse.
Unhealthy habits can raise blood sugar and damage the eyes faster.
Pregnancy can worsen diabetic eye problems if not monitored.
Linked to poor blood circulation and can affect eye health.
Skipping eye exams can delay early detection and treatment.
Most people don’t notice symptoms in the early stages. But as it progresses, you may experience:
Your vision may become hazy or change focus throughout the day.
You may notice small black shapes or shadows drifting in your vision.
Vision becomes poor or strained in low-light or nighttime conditions.
A quick and noticeable loss of vision may happen in one or both eyes.
Colors may look less sharp, vibrant, or appear washed out.
We offer comprehensive and personalized treatment plans based on your type and stage of glaucoma:
This treatment uses a highly focused medical laser to seal or shrink abnormal blood vessels in the retina. It helps to stop or reduce fluid leakage and bleeding, especially in the early or moderate stages of Diabetic Retinopathy. The procedure is quick, generally painless, and performed on an outpatient basis. It significantly slows disease progression and helps preserve vision.
These are advanced, non-invasive diagnostic imaging techniques used to closely examine the retina. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, helping to detect fluid accumulation and structural damage. Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) involves injecting a safe dye into the bloodstream to visualize blood flow in the retina and identify leaking or blocked blood vessels. These tests are essential for accurate diagnosis, monitoring, and planning effective treatment.
Intravitreal injections involve carefully injecting medication directly into the eye, targeting abnormal blood vessel growth and reducing retinal swelling. These injections contain Anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) drugs that block the protein responsible for the formation of leaky blood vessels. It’s a highly effective treatment for both Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema, and helps in stabilizing and improving vision over time.
Vitrectomy is a specialized microsurgical procedure used for advanced cases where there is bleeding, scar tissue, or retinal detachment. During the surgery, the surgeon removes the vitreous gel (the clear jelly-like substance inside the eye) along with any blood or scar tissue obstructing the retina. This creates space for the retina to heal and improves visual clarity. It is performed using advanced technology under local or general anesthesia.
