Diabetic eye surgery refers to procedures to treat vision problems caused by diabetes, particularly diabetic retinopathy, a condition in which high blood sugar damages the blood vessels in the retina. Surgical options include laser photocoagulation, vitrectomy, and drug injection to control swelling and prevent further damage. These procedures aim to preserve vision and prevent blindness. Regular eye exams for diabetics are essential to detect early signs of retinal damage. Timely surgery can help manage the disease and maintain visual function.
