Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment in Ambala – LJ Eye Institute
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of vision loss among people with diabetes. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the tiny blood vessels of the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Without timely treatment, diabetic retinopathy can lead to permanent blindness.
At LJ Eye Institute, Ambala, we provide advanced diabetic retinopathy diagnosis and treatment using the latest retina imaging and laser technologies to protect and restore vision.
What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy develops gradually and may not show symptoms in its early stages. As the disease progresses, it can cause retinal swelling, bleeding, and abnormal blood vessel growth.
Stages of Diabetic Retinopathy
- Mild & Moderate Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR)
- Severe NPDR
- Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR)
- Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)
Early detection is key to preventing vision loss.
Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Dark spots or floaters
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Sudden vision loss in advanced stages
- Distorted or faded vision
Many patients have no symptoms initially, making regular eye checkups essential.
Who Is at Risk?
- Patients with long-standing diabetes
- Poor blood sugar control
- High blood pressure or cholesterol
- Pregnancy with diabetes
- Smokers
