Many diabetic patients have some questions, ocular complications caused by diabetes there are many, why doctors always visits when more "nagging" retinopathy? Because the impact of retinopathy on visual acuity the most serious, often irreversible, cause blindness.
Once suffering from diabetic retinopathy, patients do not be nervous, currently the only way to be recognized as an effective laser treatment. From the clinical point of view, many patients refuse to laser, feel that their condition is also light, not so "go to war" and want to take medicine can solve problems, in fact, diabetic retinopathy is currently no effective drug treatment.
For the early stages of retinopathy in patients with laser treatment (medical laser) can reduce the accumulation of macular leakage of fluid to reduce macular edema, to prevent a further decline in visual acuity. For the serious non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, laser can prevent neovascularization. As for the formation of new blood vessels have retinopathy, the laser can make abnormal regression of neovascularization and prevent its further development.
Of course, the laser treatment (medical laser) has some side effects, such as temporary blurred vision, mild vision loss, usually over time can be restored.
Need to be reminded, though, speaking from experience after some patients may do a laser vision improved, but generally difficult to restore vision to normal. Therefore, in most cases, repeated laser treatment (medical laser) is necessary. Doctors Tip: Due to early diabetic retinopathy rarely affect vision, patients generally do not have symptoms, and when found vision loss, the disease often has developed to a serious extent, therefore, patients with diabetes should be regularly fundus examination, early detection .
