Is there treatment for diabetic complications of the eyes?
Yes. There are laser treatments that can stabilize your vision by slowing or preventing blood vessel growth. These treatments will not necessarily improve your vision. Some patients may need medication injected directly into the eye while others may need surgery, particularly if the diabetic changes progress despite laser or injection treatment. You can help prevent the progression of diabetic eye disease by having routine dilated exams to catch any changes early before vision is lost.
