about the procedure

Ophthalmologists check for diabetic retinopathy with the help of an eye exam in which eye drops are administered to dilate the pupil or with the help of a fluorescein angiogram which allow them to examine blood vessels in the eye.

This test is performed periodically to monitor eye health and treat any problems as soon as they arise.

Diabetic retinopathy can be treated with injections administered to the eye, oral medicines, laser treatment and surgery if a condition has deteriorated a lot.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is among the leading causes of vision loss at the global level.
