Treatment Options for Diabetic Retinopathy at Our Beverly Hills Practice

  • Intraocular Injections: Medications are injected directly into the eye to reduce swelling, control fluid leakage, and slow abnormal blood vessel growth.
  • Laser Therapy: Precise laser pulses seal off damaged vessels and help prevent new ones from forming, protecting the retina and preserving sight.
  • Vitrectomy: In more advanced cases, surgery may be needed to remove blood, scar tissue, or vitreous gel obstructing vision. This outpatient procedure allows for repair of the underlying retina.
  • Comfort-Focused Care: Treatments are performed under local anesthesia with numbing eye drops. Most involve no stitches and little to no pain.
