Diabetic Retinopathy Surgery aims to address vision complications caused by damage to blood vessels in the retina due to diabetes. This surgical intervention becomes necessary when the condition progresses, leading to severe vision impairment or potential blindness. There are several surgical procedures employed based on the severity and stage of the disease. Laser treatment, such as focal laser photocoagulation or scatter laser treatment, is commonly used to seal leaking blood vessels or to shrink abnormal ones, reducing the risk of further vision loss. In advanced cases, vitrectomy may be necessary. This microsurgical procedure involves removing blood or scar tissue from the eye's vitreous gel to restore clear vision. Surgeons delicately remove the damaged tissue, allowing light to properly reach the retina. Additionally, newer techniques, like anti-VEGF injections, are used to inhibit the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye, preventing further damage. Diabetic retinopathy surgery requires precision, often performed by experienced ophthalmic surgeons. Post-surgery, patients need close monitoring and follow-up care to manage the condition effectively and preserve vision. Successful surgical intervention can prevent progression, alleviate symptoms, and significantly improve the patient's quality of life.
