Vitreous & Retina

One of the major medical problems in our country is diabetes.  While diabetes itself is a problem, it causes diamage to many parts of our body including the eyes.  Diabetes Retinopathy usually affects the retina.

Signs and symptoms

• There is no visible sign or pain etc, initially
• At later stage, blurred vision
• Seeing floaters (Dark spots) or black lines

Prevention

• Regular check-up and medication to keep blood sugar under control is the best prevention for diabetic retinopathy
• All those who have diabetes must get their eyes-checked from time to rule out retinopathy, even if their blood sugar is under control.

Treatment

• The damage already caused is irreversible
• Medical treatment for diabetes can help to stop or delay progression of the diabetic retinopathy
