What is Diabetic Retinopathy ?

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. When blood vessels in the retina are damaged, they may leak blood and grow fragile, brush-like branches and scar tissue. This can blur or distort the vision images that the retina sends to the brain.

Diabetic retinopathy is a condition occurring in persons with diabetes, which causes progressive damage to the retina, the light sensitive lining at the back of the eye. It is a serious sight-threatening complication of diabetes…

Stages of Diabetic Retinopathy

Mild Nonproliferative Retinopathy At this earliest stage, microaneurysms occur. They are small areas of balloon-like swelling in the retina’s tiny blood vessels.

Moderate Nonproliferative Retinopathy As the disease progresses, some blood vessels that nourish the retina are blocked.

Severe Nonproliferative Retinopathy Many more blood vessels are blocked, depriving several areas of the retina with their blood supply. These areas of the retina send signals to the body to grow new blood vessels for nourishment.

Proliferative Retinopathy At this advanced stage, the signals sent by the retina for nourishment trigger the growth of new blood vessels. This condition is called proliferative retinopathy. These new blood vessels are abnormal and fragile. They grow along the retina and along the surface of the clear, vitreous gel that fills the inside of the eye. By themselves, these blood vessels do not cause symptoms or vision loss. However, they have thin, fragile walls. If they leak blood, severe vision loss and even blindness can result.

Diagnosis

Patient history to determine vision difficulties experienced by the patient, presence of diabetes, and other general health concerns that may be affecting vision

Visual acuity measurements to determine the extent to which central vision has been affected

Refraction to determine the need for changes in an eyeglass prescription

Evaluation of the ocular structures, including the evaluation of the retina through a dilated pupil

Measurement of the pressure within the eye

Symptoms diabetic retinopathy

Often there are no symptoms in the early stages of the disease, nor is there any pain. Don’t wait for symptoms. Be sure to have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year.

Blurred vision may occur when the macula—the part of the retina that provides sharp central vision—swells from leaking fluid. This condition is called macular edema. If new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina, they can bleed into the eye and block vision…

How is diabetic retinopathy treated ?

Treatment for diabetic retinopathy depends on the stage of the disease and is directed at trying to slow or stop the progression of the disease.

scatter laser treatment may still be possible, depending on the amount of bleeding. During the first three stages of diabetic retinopathy, no treatment is needed, unless you have macular edema. To prevent progression of diabetic retinopathy, people with diabetes should control their levels of blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol…

How close together can 2 laser eye surgeries be done?

I am at high risk for acute closed-angle glaucoma (father lost his sight this way) and am awaiting an appointment with an ophthamologist. I just had to have an emergency laser procedure done for a retinal tear….When could a laser surgery be done for the closed angle?

If you develop an angle closure it sometimes can be reversed using medication (a combination of oral and topical drugs). If these drugs are not quickly successful in reversing the angle closure then you should have a laser iridotomy immediately. The time that has passed from your previous retinal laser will be irrelevant in regard to doing the iridotomy. The risk of not doing the iridotomy is far greater than any risk related to your previous laser.
