A member asked:
I have got diabetic macula odema to both eyes, but they dont want to treat yet as it is not close enough to the macula. does this mean that it will progress and get worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diabetic macula edema (DME) is due to diabetic retinopathy so a new lesion may occur in an area which needs to be treated in the future even this current asymptomatic lesion doesn't progress . So you need to control your glycemia, cholesterol and systemic blood pressure well for slowing down the progression of diabetic retinopathy. It is important to follow with a retina specialist as recommended.
