Diabetic retinopathy is one of the vascular (Blood-vessel related) complications related to diabetes.It is due to damage of small vessels and so is called a “microvascular complication”.Kidney disease and nerve damage due to diabetes are also microvascular complications. Large blood vessel damage (also called macro vascular complications) includes heart disease and stroke.

LASER STANDS FOR LIGHT AMPLIFICATION BY STIMULATED EMISSION OF RADIATION.
LASER BEAM IS ENERGY THAT COMES FROM SPECIAL LIGHT SOURCE;IT IS FOCUSED ON TO THE DISEASED AREA IN THE RETINA. THE HEAT ENERGY SEALS AND DESTROYS THE ABNORMAL BLOOD VESSELS.THE AIM OF THIS TREATMENT IS TO PROTECT THE PATIENT’S MOST IMPORTANT CENTRAL VISION,SACRIFICING IF NECESSARY SOME OF THE LESS IMPORTANT SIDE VISION.
THE LASER TREATMENT STABILIZES THE PROGRESSION OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY, PERIODIC FOLLOW UP IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK ANY FURTHER PROGRESSION IS THERE.
ONE HAS TO REMEMBER THAT VISION LOST DUE TO DIABETES IS VERY DIFFICULT TO RESTORE.
THE DOCTOR MAY ASK FOR A FUNDUS FLUROSCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY TO BE DONE BEFORE DECIDING ABOUT THE LASER BECAUSE AS IT ENABLES THE DOCTOR TO EVALUATE THE LEAKAGE IN THE RETINA.

PATIENTS WITH DIABETES ARE AT GREATER RISK OF DEVELOPING RETINAL FEARS.AND DETACHMENT,TEARS IS OFTEN SEALED WITH LASER SURGERY. RETINAL DETACHMENT REQUIRES SURGICAL TREATMENT TO REATTACH THE RETINA TO THE BACK OF THE EYE. THE PROGNOSIS FOR VISUAL RECOVERY IS DEPENDENT ON THE SEVERITY OF THE DETACHMENT.
EVEN THOUGH RETINOPATHY CANNOT BE ELIMINATED COMPLETELY. STILL THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE CAN BE MINIMIZED, IF DIABETES IS WELL WITHIN CONTROL AND IF THE TREATMENT HAS BEEN STARTED EARLY.
