Patients with diabetes should be closely observed by their eye doctor to ensure the continued health of their eyes. However, there are several new management options available including intravitreal injections and laser treatment.
Intravitreal Injections
In diabetic eye disease, abnormal blood vessels develop that can break, bleed, and leak fluid. If left untreated, these damaged blood vessels can result in a rapid and severe loss of vision. The most effective treatments to date for this blood vessel damage are the anti-angiogenic drugs Avastin, Lucentis, and Eylea.
Laser Treatment
RGB Cataract and LASIK has invested in the latest technology to deliver less painful, faster and more precise treatments for diabetic retinopathy.
Close Observation
Annual eye exams are key to making sure your eyes are healthy. Dr. Plauché, Dr. Bossen or Dr. Lehman will examine your eyes closely each visit to keep track of your condition’s progress and ensure we are doing everything we can to prolong your good vision. We will work with you to devise a customized treatment program to help manage your diabetic eye disease.
