Retina, located at the back of the eye, is a layer of nerve tissue that receives images and sends
them as electric signals through the optic nerve to the brain.
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs: e.g. Avastin, Eylea,
Vabysmo to block VEGF
Laser treatment
Retina Tear Laser: help seal the tear, hold the retina in place
Focal Laser: to stop reduce swelling
PRP Laser: to prevent new abnormal blood vessels from growing
Eye surgery
Vitrectomy: reattaching, repairing, holding retina in place through laser
or freeze injecting air, gas, or silicone oil
Schedule an appointment to discuss your vision health
Getting a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year is essential if you have
diabetes, as early identification can stop damage and prevent blindness. Seek immediate
medical attention if you see flashes or too many floaters; it may be a warning sign of
potential retinal problems.
