Diabetes Ophthalmology

Diabetes ophthalmology is concerned with diabetes's consequences that affect the eyes, particularly diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edoema. Diabetes can harm the blood vessels in the retina, which could result in vision loss if ignored. This condition is known as diabetic retinopathy. The term "diabetic macular edoema" refers to swelling of the macula, a tiny but significant portion of the retina that controls central vision. Surgical vitrectomy, intravitreal injections of VEGF inhibitors, and laser photocoagulation are among the available treatments. For controlling and avoiding diabetes-related visual issues, routine eye exams and early identification are essential.
