Diabetic Retinopathy: Protecting Vision for Diabetics at DLEI
Diabetic Retinopathy is a Diabetes-related complication that occurs in the Blood vessels of the Retina. Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness in the adult population. At Dada Laser Eye Institute (DLEI), we offer comprehensive screening, early detection, and high-level treatment options to treat and prevent vision loss from Diabetic Retinopathy.
Who Is at Risk?
Anyone with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes is at risk, especially if:
- Poor Blood Sugar control
- They have had diabetes for many years
- They also have high Blood Pressure or High Cholesterol
Routine Eye Check-ups are necessary—even if you have no symptoms.
Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy
Often Diabetic Retinopathy progresses silently. But occasionally symptoms may occur:
- Blurred or changing vision
- Floaters or dark spots
- Loss of vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
Diagnosis and Monitoring
At DLEI, we utilize high-tech equipment including:
- Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA)
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
- Digital Fundus Photography
These technologies allow for early diagnosis and precise monitoring.
Treatment Options
Depending on the severity, our Retinal Specialists can recommend:
- Laser Photocoagulation – to seal leaking blood vessels
- Anti-VEGF injections – to reduce inflammation and block abnormal vessel growth
- Vitrectomy – in bad cases where there is bleeding or detachment of the retina
Our patient-focused care process ensures you get the right treatment at the right time.
At DLEI, we help you take charge of your Eye health with Diabetes—because preserving vision is as crucial as controlling blood sugar.
