Diabetic Retinopathy (Treatment of eye disease due to diabetes) : Dr. Neha Goel at ICARE Hospital.
Treatment for diabetic retinopathy should involve both a medical doctor and an ophthalmologist. Your medical doctor can help you better control blood sugar and can treat other complications of diabetes that may worsen diabetic retinopathy, such as impaired kidney or heart function. Your ophthalmologist can directly treat retinopathy with a laser or a surgical procedure called vitrectomy, to prevent further vascular changes and preserve vision. Don't be surprised if your doctor recommends one of these treatments before you notice any vision problems: Before problems start is usually the best time for treatment.
Laser treatment for diabetic retinopathy, called laser photocoagulation, works in part by creating tiny, painless retinal burns that seal off leaking vessels and reduce swelling. The number of burns yje doctor makes and the number of treatments you need depend on the type and extent of your retinopathy and how well it responds to treatment. You may have to wait several months to find out if this treatment is improving your condition.
I visited I-Care today as I’ve blur vision in my right eye. I met with Dr. Neha Goel there. As it was my first interaction with her, I expected she would listen to my problems properly and answer my questions.
As per consultation process, she would resolve my doubts and would explain me about my disease properly.
But she dint allow me to speak anything, just explained everything in a robotic way with smile and asked me to go for some tests(Angiography and Tomography). Even she din’t explain anything about them.
After completion of tests, I met her again and she repeated the same thing and asked me to leave.
I’m completely dissatisfied with the way she responded. If I’m going for a treatment for most important component of my body, at least I’ve my rights reserved to know each and every thing about the decease and treatment plans and processes. I don’t know why she was in much hurry and just trying to get rid of her patient.
Nano-grade eye drops should be the last-ditch treatment for diabetic retinopathy.
