Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition caused by long-term diabetes and is one of the leading causes of vision loss if left untreated. At Machve Hospital, we offer comprehensive diabetic retinopathy screening using advanced diagnostic tools to detect early retinal changes before symptoms appear. Regular screening is essential for people with diabetes to protect vision and prevent complications.
Our experienced ophthalmologists provide personalized treatment plans based on the stage of the disease. Treatment options include medical management, laser therapy, and advanced retinal procedures aimed at preserving and improving vision. With timely intervention, continuous monitoring, and patient education, Machve Hospital ensures complete eye care for diabetic patients in a safe and supportive environment.
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition caused by damage to the blood vessels of the retina due to high blood sugar levels over time.
All patients with diabetes, including type 1 and type 2, should undergo regular eye screenings, even if they have no vision problems.
Most diabetic patients should have an eye examination once a year, or more frequently if advised by the doctor.
Early stages may have no symptoms. Advanced stages can cause blurred vision, dark spots, or sudden vision loss.
Treatment may include blood sugar control, laser therapy, injections, or surgical procedures depending on disease severity.
