Concept
Diabetic retinopathy management involves regular screening, glycemic control, and timely intervention to prevent vision loss in diabetic patients. It requires a multidisciplinary approach, including ophthalmologists, endocrinologists, and primary care providers, to effectively monitor and treat the progression of the disease.
Concept
Anti-VEGF therapy is a medical treatment designed to inhibit the action of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that promotes the growth of new blood vessels, which is crucial in managing diseases like age-related macular degeneration and certain cancers. By blocking VEGF, this therapy helps to reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage, thereby improving symptoms and disease outcomes.
Vitreoretinal interface disorders involve abnormalities at the junction between the vitreous body and the retina, leading to visual disturbances. These conditions can range from benign to sight-threatening, necessitating accurate diagnosis and timely intervention to prevent permanent vision loss.
