Why diabetes affects the retina

High blood sugar damages tiny retinal vessels, leading to Non-Proliferative (early) and Proliferative (advanced) stages, and Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) that blurs central vision. Early disease is often silent, so yearly checks are vital—even if your vision seems fine.

How we diagnose

Dilated retina examination

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to assess macular edema

Fundus Photography / Angiography for treatment planning
We also coordinate with your physician to optimize sugar, BP and lipids.

Treatment options

Anti-VEGF injections to control edema and bleeding risk

Retinal Laser (photocoagulation) to stabilize oxygen demand

Vitrectomy surgery for non-resolving bleeds or traction
The right plan depends on stage, macular involvement and systemic control.

Your role in protecting vision

Maintain HbA1c near your target (as advised by your physician)

Control BP, cholesterol; stop smoking

Keep scheduled eye visits—usually every 6–12 months, or more often if advised
