Now, let us have a look into the various effects of diabetes on our retina and the conditions caused thereof. 

Retina is the innermost layer in our eye that is responsible for receiving the light signals and transmitting it to the brain through optic nerves. Patients with diabetes are at an increased risk of the condition called diabetic retinopathy. They occur in two stages namely proliferative and non proliferative.

Diabetic retinopathy does not usually manifest any symptoms in the early stages. However, with progress in time fluctuating, blurry and double visions might be encountered. Eye pain, cataracts and decrease in range of vision are some other symptoms of the condition

Managing diabetic retinopathy

• Diabetic retinopathy can be managed with the help of lasers as in photocoagulation and Anti-VEGF injection in some rare cases.

•  Photocoagulation aims at protecting the central vision by direction laser beams to seal the leaking blood vessels in the retina. This laser treatment can be completed in about 3 sittings and helps in preventing further deterioration of vision. It does not help in restoring the lost vision, hence increasing the importance of an early detection of diabetic retinopathy.

• Anti-VEGF agents are an evolving treatment methodology and involve intravitreal injection. They are mainly used in treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The earlier the diagnosis and initiation of treatment, better is the result. Hence it is advisable to get your eyes checked up in every 6 months, once diagnosed with diabetes.

Amrit Hospital is one of the best eye care centres in Chennai, offering the latest technologies in the field.

The eye surgeon is capable to develop a tiny flap in the patient’s cornea, with the support of femtosecond computer technology. The laser operates at extremely high speed and permit tissue to be targeted and divided at the molecular level without heating or impacting surrounding tissues, with the control of the computer. The bladeless laser treatment creates corneal flap in much more precise manner in comparison to the traditional microkeratome blade. Further, a standard laser is used to make the appropriate adjustments. The surgery commonly takes less than five minutes and a painless process.


Bladeless LASIK surgery supports surgeon to provide a more accurate and flap on the eye that will fall back into place naturally. The difference in flap structure created by the bladeless laser may reduce the chance of cells growing underneath and pushing up the flap (epithelial in-growth) to create an irregular corneal surface with accompanying vision defects. Sometimes, bladeless laser show light sensitivity as a side effect, but it can resolve soon. LASIK surgery also gives rare complications such as dry eyes or temporary visual disturbances.
