Diabetic Retina & all Retina Surgeries
Diabetic Retina & Retina?
The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that plays a vital role in vision by sending images to the brain. Any damage to the retina can lead to serious vision problems or even blindness if left untreated.
One of the most common retinal issues is Diabetic Retinopathy, a condition caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the tiny blood vessels in the retina. Over time, this can lead to blurred vision, floaters, difficulty seeing at night, and even permanent vision loss.

High blood pressure
High cholesterol

Treatment Options:
Laser treatment (Photocoagulation) to stop leakage or bleeding
