Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy Care at Citi Eye Hospitals

What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems and, if untreated, possible blindness.

Who is at Risk?
Anyone with diabetes—Type 1 or Type 2—is at risk, especially those with uncontrolled blood sugar, high blood pressure, or who have had diabetes for many years. Pregnant women with diabetes are also at increased risk.

Symptoms to Watch For

• Blurred or fluctuating vision

• Dark or empty areas in vision

• Difficulty seeing at night

• Sudden vision loss

Often, diabetic retinopathy shows no early symptoms, which is why regular eye check-ups are crucial.

Our Diagnostic Approach
At Citi Eye Hospitals, we use advanced imaging techniques such as Fundus Photography, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and Fluorescein Angiography to detect and monitor diabetic retinopathy accurately.

Treatment Options

• Laser Photocoagulation to seal leaking blood vessels

• Anti-VEGF Injections to reduce swelling and new vessel growth

• Vitrectomy surgery for advanced cases with bleeding or retinal detachment
