The article focuses on managing proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Leakage from new vessels, capillary nonperfusion and macular ischaemia are manifested during intravenous flourescein angiography. The incidence of severe visual loss in PDR can be reduced by up to 95 per cent through pan-...
Patient education plays the most crucial in the management of PDR. It is also necessary to inform the treating physician of the diabetic retinopathy status so that disease modifying drugs can be started whenever required. For example thiozolidinediones have been proven to delay the onset of PDR ...
Diabetic retinopathy is common amongst diabetics, and the likelihood of a diabetic developing the condition increases with the length of time they have had diabetes. The risk of retinopathy also varies depending on the age at diabetes diagnosis, the person’s age, and whether or not they have n...
Pan-retinal laser photocoagulation can lower the severity of retinal ischemia, as the standard of care for management of rubeosis iridis secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Intravitreal injection anti-VEGF can serve as an adjunct or main treatment for anterior segment neovascularization. Bevac...
