Diabetic Retinopathy in Bensalem, PA
What Is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy, a serious eye condition, deteriorates the vital blood vessels within the eye, often due to unmanaged blood glucose levels and other diabetes complications. If these crucial vessels become obstructed, the eye struggles to maintain necessary nutrient levels for proper blood flow and function. As the condition advances, patients may face severe outcomes, like retinal detachment, macular edema, glaucoma, and even loss of vision or total blindness. The early symptoms of diabetic retinopathy are frequently undetectable until the disease has reached more advanced stages, highlighting the importance of diligent eye care for diabetic individuals. Our team prioritizes the ocular health of our diabetic clients, offering various treatment strategies at IC Laser Eye Care in Bensalem, PA, Philadelphia, PA, and Hamilton, NJ, and Suburban Eye Associates in Huntingdon Valley, PA for those diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy.
How Is Diabetic Retinopathy Treated?
Diabetic retinopathy unfolds in two key phases: the initial, nonproliferative stage and the more severe, proliferative stage. Symptoms often remain unnoticed until the disease escalates to the proliferative stage where patients may experience visual disturbances, such as floaters, dark areas, blurriness, or even a loss of vision. Our initial step in diagnosing diabetic retinopathy involves a detailed examination. Although there's no cure for diabetic retinopathy as of now, our specialists are committed to offering management strategies that can mitigate the progression of your condition.

I have been a patient of IC Laser on Knights Rd for the last 5 years and have always left satisfied and happy. I have gotten contacts, prescription glasses and eye check-ups and all of those services have been exceptional. Picking out glasses is not an easy thing because you want your glasses to look right with the shape of your face. Dianna the Optician is super nice, very knowledgeable and patient with me every time I visit. She has even made my 6 year old nephew feel confident and cool in his first pair of glasses! I definitely recommend checking this place out for all your vision needs.
