When is surgery required for patients with Diabetic eye disease?

0

Surgery may be required in advanced cases with vitreous hemorrhage and/or tractional retinal detachment. How do I prevent Diabetic Retinopathy? • Monitor and control your blood sugar tightly. Keeping blood sugar levels close to normal slows the progression of disease and reduces the need for laser or surgery. • Keep your blood pressure and cholesterol under control. • Stop smoking or the use of other forms of tobacco. • Yearly dilated eye exams are absolutely essential as early warning signs are typically absent. You can have the most severe forms of DR and still have no symptoms. • Contact your eye doctor immediately if you notice sudden vision changes or your vision becomes blurry, spotty or hazy.
