What is DR ....?

• DR is a complication of diabetes and one of the
  leading cause of blindness
• Diabetic retinopathy leads to damage blood
  vessels within the retinal tissue, causing them
  to leak fluid and distort vision.

Treatment Options

• Treating DR depends on many factors, containing
  the type of DR and severity, and previous history
  of that patient i.e. how the individual with
  Diabetic retinopathy had responded to previous
  treatments.
• With NPDR, a doctor might plan to monitor the
  person's eyes closely while not intervening. This
  is called as watchful waiting.
• Persons will have to work with their concern
  doctor to control their diabetes. Good blood
  sugar control can significantly slows down the
  development of DR.
• In many of cases PDR, the patient will need to
  have immediate surgical treatment.

Focal Laser Treatment or Photocoagulation

• The whole procedure is carried out in an eye
  clinic. Targeted optical maser burns seal the
  leaks from abnormal blood vessels. surgical
  operation will either stop or bog
  down the discharge of blood and buildup of
  fluid within the eye.
• People can typically expertise blurred vision for
  twenty-four hours following focal optical
  maser treatment. tiny spots might seem within
  the visual view for a number of weeks once the
  procedure

Scatter Laser Treatment or Preretinal
Photocoagulation
11

• Scattered optical maser burns are applied to the
  areas of the tissue layer removed from the
  macula, unremarkably over the course
  of 2 or 3 sessions. The macula is that
  the space at the middle of the tissue
  layer within which vision is strongest.
• The optical maser burns cause abnormal new blood
  vessels to shrink and scar. Most
  patients need 2 or 3 sessions for the
  simplest results.
• Individuals might have blurred vision for
  twenty-four hours following the procedure, and
  there could also be some loss of visual
  modality or visual sense.

Vitrectomy
13

• This involves the removing of number of the
  vitreous from among the eyeball. The doc replaces
  the clouded gel with a transparent liquid or gas.
  
• The body can eventually absorb the gas or
  liquid. This can produce new vitreous to
  switch the clouded gel that has been removed.
• Any blood within the vitreous and connective
  tissue that will be pull on the tissue layer is
  removed. This procedure is performed during
  a hospital beneath general or anesthetic.
  The tissue layer may be reinforced and control in
  position with small clamps.

• After surgery, the patient might ought to wear a
  watch patch to step by step regain use of their
  eye, which may tire when a vitrectomy.
• If gas was accustomed replace the removed gel,
  the patient shouldn't pass by plane till all gas
  has been absorbed into the body.
  The doctor can tell the patient however long this
  could take. Most patients can have foggy vision
  for a couple of weeks when surgery.
• It will take many months for traditional vision
  to come back. Surgery isn't a cure for diabetic
  retinopathy. However, it's going to stop or slow
  the progression of symptoms. 
• Polygenic disorder (Diabetes) may be
  a long condition, and consequent retinal injury an
  d vision loss should still occur despite
  treatment

Prevention

  diabetes, Diabetic Retinopathy is an inevitable
  consequence.

  successfully manage their blood sugar levels will

  form of DR.
• Hypertension or High blood pressure, is another
  important contributing factor.
