Diabetic Eye Diseases

Diabetic eye diseases are a group of eye conditions that can occur as a complication of diabetes. They include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, cataracts, and glaucoma. High blood sugar levels in diabetes can damage blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems and even blindness if left untreated.

At Sunaian Eye Care, we offer comprehensive management for diabetic eye diseases to help preserve vision and prevent complications. Our specialized ophthalmologists conduct regular eye exams, including detailed retinal evaluations, to detect any early signs of diabetic eye conditions. We create personalized treatment plans that may involve medication, laser therapy, intraocular injections, and surgical procedures, as needed, to address the specific diabetic eye disease.

Yes, diabetic retinopathy can often be effectively treated with laser therapy. Laser treatment, such as focal laser or panretinal photocoagulation, is used to target and seal leaking blood vessels or abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina. This helps prevent further damage and reduces the risk of vision loss in diabetic retinopathy.

Sunaian Eye Care stays at the forefront of technological advancements in the management of diabetic eye diseases. We offer advanced diagnostic imaging, including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Fluorescein Angiography, to precisely assess the condition of the retina and guide treatment decisions. Additionally, we employ state-of-the-art treatments like intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF medications to manage diabetic macular edema effectively.

Cataract surgery is generally safe for individuals with diabetes, but it requires careful management of blood sugar levels before and after the procedure. At Sunaian Eye Care, our experienced cataract surgeons collaborate with diabetologists to ensure blood sugar levels are well-controlled during surgery. Precautions are taken to minimize the risk of infection and complications, making the procedure safe for diabetic patients.
