Patient's question:
I'm very concerned about this situation. How should we deal with bilateral blindness caused by diabetes?Doctor's answer:
This symptom is diabetic retinopathy, the most common retinal vascular disease. The recurrence of diabetic retinopathy, one of the complications of diabetes, is not selective of the severity of diabetes itself, the presence or absence of subjective symptoms, or how insulin is rejected, but is primarily selective of the duration of the disease. One of the treatment methods is laser retinal photocoagulation, where the laser beam is focused on the neovascularization to photocoagulate it, destroying the neovascularization and isolating the vascular leakage. Early detection in the initial stage of the disease can utilize laser treatment, and if there is no significant further deterioration in the later stage, laser cryocoagulation treatment can also be used.
