PATIENT EDUCATION
Dr. Humphrey and Dr. Cooper are very well
educated in the Diseases of the eye. They
utilize the technologies, we have available,
like the JVN machine.
What is the Treatment for Diabetic
Retinopathy?
In the early stages of background diabetic
retinopathy there may be no need for
immediate treatment, but the disease
should be carefully monitored by regular
eye examinations.
If the condition
becomes
more
serious,
medical
laser may be used to seal leaking blood
vessels, slowing development.
With all
serious eye disorders, early detection by
regular eye e3xaminations result in more
effective treatment, especially for a disease
that is progressive in nature, such as
diabetic retinopathy.
