Diabetic retinopathy may be present without any symptoms.
Early detection is the best protection against vision loss.
People with diabetes should schedule eye exams by an ophthalmologist at
least once a year. More frequent medical eye exams may be necessary
once diabetic retinopathy has been diagnosed.
With careful monitoring, the ophthalmologist can begin treatment before
their sight is affected. The argon laser and operative surgery are
highly effective treatments for the diabetic patient.
Glaucoma earned the nickname "silent thief of sight" because
the most common type of glaucoma, known as open angle glaucoma, has no
pain or symptoms at its onset.
Glaucoma is caused by the build-up of fluid inside the front of the eye.
This fluid causes abnormal pressure inside the eye and can damage the optic
nerve in the back of the eye. This damage is permanent.
It is very important to have regular eye exams to catch this "silent
thief of sight" before too much damage is done. Glaucoma can be treated
with medication and, in some cases, intraocular surgery.
Eye Clinic doctor uses lasers instead of traditional surgery to treat and
correct certain eye conditions.
The CO2 Laser:
The CO2 laser is used to perform an oculoplastic eyelid surgery with less
bleeding.
The Argon Laser:
The Argon laser treats glaucoma by helping to open closed drainage canals
in the eye. It also can be used to treat certain retinal conditions such
as retinal tears and retinal disease caused by diabetes.
