Living with diabetes can impact your eye health, leading to conditions that pose serious risks to your vision if not addressed early. At Wakefield Eye Care in Bronx, NY, we provide expert care for diabetic eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy. With advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options, our team is dedicated to preserving your eyesight and improving your quality of life.
Effective treatment starts with a comprehensive eye exam, including imaging tests like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography to assess retinal health. For mild cases, controlling blood sugar levels and scheduling routine check-ups may be sufficient. Moderate to severe cases often require intervention, such as laser therapy to seal leaking blood vessels, anti-VEGF injections to reduce swelling and prevent abnormal growth, or surgical procedures like vitrectomy to remove blood or scar tissue. For more advanced or surgical treatment options, we take a collaborative approach and coordinate referrals to vitreoretinal surgeons when necessary. Each treatment plan is personalized to ensure the best possible outcomes for your vision.
