Check below for a detailed story of a diabetic retinopathy story.

Pre-operative and post-operative results.

The satisfaction of seeing our efforts pay off is immeasurable.

This 57-year-old patient was suffering with blurry vision in his left eye for over a year. His left eye was diagnosed with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, vitreous hemorrhage and macular tractional retinal detachment, and he could only count fingers at 1meter.

The image here shows about diabetic retinopathy.

Pre-operative consequences:

The vitreous hemorrhage in the preoperative fundus photograph is so dense that it obscures the retina almost entirely.
Under local anesthesia, the patient had day surgery consisting of a Pars plana vitrectomy+ membrane peeling+ endolaser+ fluid air exchange+ silicone oil injection for his left eye.

Post-operative results:

Post-operative day 57, his best corrected visual acuity was 6/12.
