A doctor has provided 1 answer
Takes time, sometime: I wish you the best. LASER for diabetic retinopathy has 2 goals, neither is to improve vision. When applied to the macula, it is to reduce macular edema. When applied to the outer retina, it is to minimize NEW abnormal vessels because they bleed easily. These LASERS are not LASIK, which is applied to cornea to eliminate glasses. Lucentis, (ranibizumab) Might improve vision. Diabetes and BP control are critica.
