Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is one of the types of diabetic retinopathy that cause different visual problem if become advance and poor glucose control

1. Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a serious eye condition. It occurs in individuals with diabetes, leading to severe vision impairment. Early detection is crucial for effective management and treatment. by Ehsan Hashimi

2. Causes and Risk Factors High Blood Sugar Levels Persistent high blood sugar damages retinal blood vessels. Hypertension High blood pressure increases the risk of vascular complications. Duration of Diabetes Longer diabetes history correlates with higher PDR risk.

3. Pathophysiology 1 Initial Damage Diabetes causes microvascular injury in the retina, leading to hypoxia. 2 Neovascularization The body attempts to create new vessels but fails. 3 Vision Loss New vessels leak and scar tissue forms, impairing vision significantly.

4. Stages of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy 1 Early Stage This stage has mild neovascularization. 2 Mild to Moderate Stage Increased growth of abnormal blood vessels occurs. 3 Severe Stage Significant vision loss and potential blindness.

5. Symptoms and Diagnosis Common Symptoms Diagnosis Techniques Floaters Fundoscopy Blurriness Optical Coherence Tomography Dark areas in vision Fluorescein Angiography

6. Treatment Options Laser Therapy Laser treatment reduces abnormal blood vessel growth. Anti-VEGF Injections Injections help to stabilize vision and decrease fluid leakage. Surgery Vitrectomy may be necessary for severe cases.

7. Complications and Prognosis 1 Vision Loss Many individuals lose significant vision without treatment. 2 Retinal Detachment Severe cases may lead to detachment. 3 Increased Risk of Other Conditions PDR can lead to cataracts and glaucoma.

8. Prevention and Management Strategies Regular Eye Exams Frequent check-ups can catch issues early. Blood Sugar Control Maintaining good glucose levels reduces PDR risk. Healthy Lifestyle A balanced diet and exercise improve overall health. Medication Adherence Following prescribed therapies is vital for prevention.
