Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy

The early stages of diabetic retinopathy often have no symptoms. However, as the condition progresses, you may experience the following symptoms:

• Blurred vision
• Floater
• Double vision
• Dark spots in your vision
• Loss of vision

Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is typically diagnosed during a comprehensive eye exam. Your eye doctor will dilate your pupils and examine the back of your eyes. He or she will look for signs of damage to the blood vessels in the retina. If diabetic retinopathy is detected, your eye doctor will recommend the best course of treatment.

Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy

The goal of treatment for diabetic retinopathy is to prevent vision loss. Treatment options include:

• Laser therapy: Laser therapy can be used to seal leaking blood vessels and prevent the growth of new ones.
• Anti-VEGF injections: Anti-VEGF injections are used to block the growth of new blood vessels.
• Vitrectomy: A vitrectomy is a surgical procedure that is used to remove blood and scar tissue from the vitreous, the gel-like substance that fills the center of the eye.

Prevention of Diabetic Retinopathy

There is no cure for diabetic retinopathy, but there are steps you can take to prevent the condition from developing or getting worse. These steps include:

• Keep your blood sugar under control: The best way to prevent diabetic retinopathy is to keep your blood sugar under control. This bedeutet eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and taking medication as prescribed by your doctor.
• Have regular eye exams: Regular eye exams can help your eye doctor detect and treat diabetic retinopathy early on, when it is most treatable.
• Quit smoking: Smoking can increase your risk of developing diabetic retinopathy and other eye problems.
