Green Laser for Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy
At Chugh Eye Surgery Centre, we offer advanced Green Laser therapy for the effective management of Diabetic Retinopathy. This laser treatment helps to stabilize vision and prevent further damage caused by diabetes-related retinal complications.
What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic Retinopathy is a diabetes-related eye condition that affects the blood vessels in the retina. If left untreated, it can lead to vision loss and even blindness. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial to preserving vision.
How Green Laser Treatment Works?
Green Laser therapy, also known as Photocoagulation, uses precise laser energy to seal leaking blood vessels, shrink abnormal vessels, and prevent the growth of new ones. This helps in controlling the progression of Diabetic Retinopathy.
When is Green Laser Treatment Needed?
- Presence of leaking blood vessels in the retina
- Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (new, fragile blood vessel growth)
- Macular Edema (swelling at the central part of the retina)
- Retinal hemorrhages and exudates
