What are the Common Ways that Diabetic Retinopathy is Treated?
Treatment options may include:
- Medical Management: We help you keep your blood sugar and blood pressure in check since this can slow or even reverse early retinal changes.
- Medication Injections: When swelling occurs, we administer anti-VEGF or steroid injections to reduce macular swelling and support clearer vision.
- Laser or Surgical Options: If needed, we offer laser treatment or vitrectomy surgery to remove blood or scar tissue and restore sight.
