Prevent vision loss with expert-led diabetic retinopathy care
Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy – one of the leading causes of preventable vision loss. With early detection and tailored treatment, you can maintain clear sight.
Dr. Pratibha creates personalised care plans combining laser therapy, eye injections, and comprehensive screenings. Her dual focus on medical treatment and lifestyle improvements – such as blood sugar control, diet, and exercise – empowers patients to manage both their eye health and diabetes effectively.

What is Diabetic Retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes-related eye condition that can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. It occurs when high blood sugar damages the small blood vessels in the retina—the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. In its early stages, it may show no symptoms, but as it progresses, it can result in serious complications such as: · Proliferative diabetic retinopathy: where abnormal new blood vessels grow and may bleed · Diabetic macular oedema (DMO): where fluid collects in the central part of the retina, causing vision loss Early detection and prompt treatment are essential to protecting your sight.

Symptoms to Watch For
Many people with diabetic retinopathy have no symptoms at first. As the condition progresses, you may experience: · Blurred or fluctuating vision · Eye floaters or dark spots · Reduced colour perception · Difficulty seeing at night · Vision loss in more advanced stages Because symptoms often appear only after damage has occurred, regular screening is critical for all patients living with diabetes.

Benefits of Early Intervention
Early management of diabetic retinopathy can: · Prevent or delay vision loss · Reduce the need for urgent surgery · Improve outcomes from treatments such as injections or laser therapy · Detect other diabetes-related eye conditions like glaucoma or cataracts early · Empower you to take control of your eye and overall health When caught early, diabetic eye disease is highly manageable with the right treatment plan.
