Overview

Diabetic Retinopathy to Safeguard Your Vision

Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition that affects people with diabetes, caused by damage to the tiny blood vessels in the retina. High blood sugar levels can weaken or block these vessels, leading to fluid leakage, bleeding, or abnormal new vessel growth. Over time, this can result in blurred vision, floaters, or even permanent blindness if untreated.

At Aloka Eye Clinic, our retina specialists use advanced diagnostic imaging such as OCT and Fundus Fluorescein Angiography to detect early changes before vision loss occurs. Treatment options include laser therapy, intravitreal injections, and surgery—each aimed at preserving vision and preventing further damage. With timely diagnosis, effective diabetes management, and specialized care, most patients can maintain good vision. Regular eye check-ups are crucial for all diabetic individuals to prevent irreversible retinal damage and ensure long-term visual health. 

Diabetic Retinopathy Symptoms

Diabetic retinopathy often begins with no symptoms, which makes early screening essential for patients with diabetes. As the disease progresses, you may notice blurred vision, floaters, difficulty reading, or fluctuating vision, especially when blood sugar levels change.

In more advanced stages, symptoms can include dark spots, distorted vision, poor night vision, or sudden vision loss. Because damage can occur silently, regular eye exams are critical to protecting long-term vision.

How is it Diagnosed

  1. Dilated Eye Examination
    The doctor examines the retina through dilated pupils to check for bleeding, swelling, or abnormal blood vessel growth.
  2. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
    OCT imaging provides detailed cross-sectional views of the retina, allowing detection of fluid buildup and structural changes.
  3. Fundus Photography & Angiography
    Retinal photographs or dye-based angiography help identify blood vessel leakage, circulation problems, and the severity of the disease.

Treatments Options

  • Medical & Injection Therapy
    Treatments such as anti-VEGF injections or steroid injections can reduce swelling, prevent bleeding, and slow the growth of abnormal blood vessels.
  • Laser Treatment
    Laser therapy may be used to seal leaking vessels or prevent new abnormal vessels from forming, helping stabilize vision and reduce complications.
  • Surgical Management
    For severe cases involving bleeding or scar tissue, a vitrectomy may be performed to clear the eye and protect remaining vision.

FAQs

Can diabetic retinopathy be reversed?

Early stages may improve with treatment and good diabetes control, but advanced damage may be permanent. Early detection is key.

Yes, it usually affects both eyes, though not always equally.

People with diabetes should have a yearly dilated eye exam, or more frequently if recommended by their doctor.
