Treatment Of Diabetic Retinopathy in Delhi NCR At Shroff Eye Centre

The goal of diabetic retinopathy treatment is to slow or stop the progression of the disease. In the early stages of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, regular monitoring of the retina and strict glycemic control may be the only treatment. Regular exercise, diet modification and lifestyle changes can help control blood sugar levels and thus control the progression of the disease. As diabetic retinopathy progresses, it may need treatment with Laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injections and diabetic retinopathy surgery.

Laser photocoagulation in diabetic retinopathy

This involves the use of a LASER beam to seal leaking blood vessels and prevent the growth of abnormal blood vessels.

In background retinopathy, if blood vessels are leaking fluid into the macula (diabetic macular edema), laser treatment stops the leakage and may improve or stabilise vision.

In proliferative retinopathy, laser treatment may involve one or more sessions depending on the type and severity of retinopathy.

Important to remember:

1. This is an out-patient procedure - i.e. does not require hospitalisation.

2. Laser retina treatment is not a one-time procedure. It may require multiple sittings.

3. Regular follow up is extremely important. Your doctor will tell you when to return for a check-up.

Intravitreal injections

Recent studies on laser treatment along with some medicines (anti VEGF) injected into the eye (or just outside the eye) have shown encouraging results in diabetic macular edema and diabetic retinopathy.

These medicines include Intravitreal

  • Ranibizumab (common brand names Accentrix/Lucentis, Razumab)

  • Bevacizumab (common brand name Avastin)

  • Steroids such as intravitreal dexamethasone (common brand name Ozurdex).

These injections may often need to be repeated to reduce the macular edema and slow down vision loss in diabetic retinopathy.

Laser, Injection & Surgical Options for Diabetic Retinopathy In Delhi NCR

If there is significant bleeding in the eye or traction retinal detachment, laser treatment will not work. In this situation, a surgical procedure called vitrectomy needs to be performed.

Vitrectomy involves the removal of the opaque vitreous gel, which is inside the eye, and the scar tissue. It is followed by laser and other procedures to stabilise vision.

Raghav Verma

I have now been visiting Shroff Eye Centre for the last 3 years and my experience has been very reliable and trustworthy. I recently went for a regular checkup and a retina hole was identified for which an immediate laser surgery was required. Dr Ashraya did the assessment and immediately set up the laser surgery the next day. It was very expertly done, and the doctor was very knowledgable and empathetic. Dr Richa Pyare did my follow up checkup – great experience with her as well. Would strongly recommend Shroff Eye Centre especially for anything to do with retina issues.

My brother is 34 years old and has diabetic retinopathy. His condition was quite advanced. We came all the way from Bulgaria, and were extremely happy with the experience at Shroff Eye hospital (Kailash colony), and especially the professionalism of Dr. Cyrus Shroff and Dr. Charu Gupta. He underwent 2 complex retina attachment surgeries within 4 months, both of them with gas. All throughout the process, the whole team made us extreme comfortable, gave us detailed accurate diagnosis, and treated us with patience and care of highest level. Special thanks to the whole team for saving my brother's eyes, especially to Dr Charu Gupta and Dr Cyrus Shroff.

Dr. Cyrus Shroff and Dr. Darius Shroff performed a very serious vitreo-retinal surgery for my father. He had a partially detached retina with a macular hole in his right eye, both of which were treated in the most efficient manner.

Dr Charu Gupta performed my Retina detachment surgery. From the initial consultation to the post-op follow-up, I was impressed with her professionalism, empathy, and expertise. The procedure itself was quick and painless, and the staff made sure I was comfortable throughout. DR. Charu took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and made me feel at ease. The outcome has been amazing – I highly recommend Dr. Gupta to anyone considering eye surgery.

My son was detected with retina detachment in October 2024 and he had to undergo surgery. We had so many apprehensions. We are really grateful to Dr. Gagan who not only performed the surgery with precision but was also really patient to answer our queries each time we visited post surgery. Now my son is really doing well. His eye has recovered. The vision wasn't affected. Thank you doctor.
