What can you expect after surgery for diabetic retinopathy?

In the early stage of diabetic retinopathy called Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR), Diabetes causes the blood vessels in the retina to leak and form deposits called exudates. It is diagnosed by using fluorescein Angiography (FA) and Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) If actual leaking vessels are identified, these leaking vessels can be treated by sealing them with Laser Photocoagulation Treatment to further resolve the swelling and prevent further vision loss It is expected that there will be oral medication which is hoped to stabilize the diabetic eye disease. The first such oral medication for nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy will likely be a drug called Ruboxistaurin Mesylate.

A fluorescein angiogram also can identify the location of blood vessel leakage caused by proliferative diabetic retinopathy. While laser treatment for diabetic retinopathy usually does not improve vision, the therapy is designed to prevent further vision loss. Even people with 20/20 vision who meet treatment guidelines should be considered for laser therapy to prevent eventual vision loss related to diabetes.

Laser treatment typically requires no overnight hospital stay, so you will be treated on an outpatient basis in a clinic or in the eye doctor's office.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
