About Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition caused by damage to the tiny blood vessels in the retina due to prolonged high blood sugar levels. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss among adults. At Paras Hospital, Kanpur, we provide comprehensive diabetic eye care, including early detection, laser therapy, intravitreal injections, and vitreoretinal surgery, tailored to each patient’s condition and stage of disease.

What is Diabetic Retinopathy?

Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar causes swelling, leakage, or abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina — the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. It progresses in stages, from non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and can lead to diabetic macular edema (DME) or retinal detachment if left untreated.

Common Signs & Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy:

  • Blurry or distorted vision

  • Floaters or black spots in vision

  • Difficulty seeing at night

  • Faded or washed-out colors

  • Sudden vision changes or vision loss

  • Frequent changes in glasses prescription

Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Options at Paras Hospital, Kanpur

Our retina specialists provide a full range of treatments for diabetic eye disease, based on the stage and severity of the condition:

Retinal Laser Photocoagulation

Used in early or moderate stages, laser therapy seals leaking blood vessels and prevents further damage.

Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injections

Medications like Avastin or Lucentis are injected into the eye to reduce swelling (macular edema) and prevent abnormal vessel growth.

Vitrectomy Surgery

In advanced cases with vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment, vitrectomy surgery is performed to remove the cloudy vitreous and repair the retina.

Regular Eye Screening

We recommend annual diabetic eye exams, including OCT scans and fundus photography, to catch changes early and manage progression effectively.
