Abstract EN
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a severe sight-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus.
Retinal laser photocoagulation, antivascular endothelial growth factors, steroid therapy, and pars plana vitrectomy are now used extensively to treat advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy.
Currently, diagnostic devices like ultrawide field fundus fluorescein angiography and the improvement of optical coherence tomography have provided quicker and more precise diagnosis of early diabetic retinopathy.
Thus, treatment protocols have been modified accordingly.
Various types of lasers, including the subthreshold micropulse laser and RPE-targeting laser, and selective targeted photocoagulation may be future alternatives to conventional retinal photocoagulation, with fewer complications.
The new developed intravitreal medications and implants have provided more therapeutic options, with promising results.
