Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy is a serious diabetes-related eye condition that occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, the part of the eye that senses light. This damage can lead to swelling, leaking of fluids, and abnormal blood vessel growth, which may result in vision impairment or even permanent blindness if left untreated.

At UMC Victoria Hospital, we prioritize early detection and advanced management of Diabetic Retinopathy, ensuring optimal care for our patients. Our skilled ophthalmology team employs state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, such as retinal imaging and fluorescein angiography, to accurately assess the severity of the condition. We provide a wide range of treatment options tailored to each patient's needs, including laser therapy, intravitreal injections, and retinal surgery, aimed at preserving and restoring vision.

Our approach emphasizes a holistic care model, integrating diabetes management with specialized eye care to address the root cause and mitigate progression. Along with cutting-edge treatments, we offer comprehensive patient education and support to empower individuals to manage their eye health effectively.
