India is the diabetic capital of the world and diabetic eye disease is a leading cause of blindness in patients over 40 years.
Diabetic Eye Unit established at Lotus provides constant care for diabetic patients.It involves routine screening of diabetics to detect retinopathy.If detected early patients can be managed medically by OCT,FFA and laser treatment,thereby preventing further decrease in vision. Patients presenting at a later stage with decreased vision due to vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachement require vitrectomy.
