| Core Tip |
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes mellitus that is a potential threat to the vision of patients. In patients with diabetes, regular ocular examination is essential to diagnose the disease at an early stage, and timely screening and diagnosis play an important part in a better prognosis. Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) requires regular follow-up and treatment as and when needed. In proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), the effectiveness of laser photocoagulation is time-bound, the earlier the better. Advanced DR stages require a more intensive approach such as vitreoretinal surgery, and PDR is associated with limited visual prognosis. Despite the multiple therapeutic approaches that are currently available for DR patients, such as intravitreal injections and sutureless pars plana vitrectomy, an interdisciplinary approach remains a mandate to treat these patients. Diabetic patients require good glycemic control as well as blood pressure control to reduce the risk of associated ophthalmic complications. |
