Diabetic Retinopathy:
Diabetes affects the tiny blood vessels of the eye in the form of blockage and when there is associated leakage your vision can be affected. Fortunately with regular, proper eye care and treatment when necessary the incidence of severe vision loss can be greatly reduced.
Symptoms:
Most often, Diabetic Retinopathy shows no symptoms until the damage is severe. However, some of the symptoms include:- Blurred vision and gradual vision loss
- Shadows or missing areas of vision
- Difficulty in reading or seeing up close
Treatment for Diabetic Retinopthy at Vasan::
At Vasan Eye Care, we understand the complications caused by diabetes and thoroughly examine all our diabetic patients before determining the treatment to be offered. Our approach includes:- Meticulous examinations of the interior of the eye using an Ophthalmoscope and 20D retinal lens.
- Making a detailed diagram of the retina with colour coding.
- Using the Fundus camera to capture serial photographs to understand the condition of the blood vessels.
- Performing Fundus Fluorescein Angiography and Optical Coherence Tomography to assess the stage of diabetic retinopathy.
- Ultrasonography of the eye, if necessary.
Retinal Detachment:
Retinal detachment occurs when the sensory retina separates from the retinal pigment epithelium like wallpaper peeling off a damp wall. If a retinal detachment is not detected and treated it can result in the loss of some vision or severe visual loss.
Symptoms that warn of a retinal detachment:
- Flashing lights
- Dark shadows in vision
- Blurring of vision
Treatment:
Retinal detachment can be treated. The treatment involves an operation to reattach the retina. Sooner the treatment is carried out, better are the results.
