According to Ray Man, a PA at Retina Surgeon UK, “Diabetic eye disease refers to a group of eye conditions that occur as a result of diabetes. The primary concern is that prolonged high blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels inside the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue lining at the back of the eye. Our seasoned team of eye specialists at Retina Surgeon UK have growing concerns about the prevalence of diabetic eye disease amongst Londoners. Regular eye check-ups and maintaining good blood sugar control are critical in preventing and managing diabetic eye disease. We are raising awareness about this preventative disease to empower individuals and encourage them to seek timeous treatment, to preserve the precious gift of sight.”
There are several types of diabetic eye disease, including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular oedema, cataracts, and glaucoma. Diabetic eye disease causes changes in the blood vessels of the retina and small haemorrhages develop in the retina and macula. The disease usually affects both eyes, and if left untreated can lead to complete loss of vision. The growth of new vessels leads to bleeding inside the eye and possible retinal detachment with profound global sight loss.
The highly skilled team at Retina Surgeon UK, performs an innovative laser treatment causing these new blood vessels to shrink away to prevent blindness. The treatment itself involves putting in eye drops which enlarge the pupils, while topical anaesthetic eye drops keep the eye comfortable during the treatment. Standard treatment for proliferative diabetic eye disease is laser therapy that is directed to all parts of the retina, but sparing the middle area of the retina called the macula. Standard laser treatment is referred to as pan retinal photocoagulation, and Mr Muqit also offers Targeted Retinal Photocoagulation therapy to patients.
Regular eye check-ups with the world-class team at Retina Surgeon UK will circumvent the dire consequences of diabetic retinopathy. Early intervention, the correct treatment and lifestyle changes, will safeguard the vision of diabetics for years to come.
