Reading time: 1 min

Treating diabetic retinopathy (DR) consists of diabetes care (sugar, diet, exercise). In advanced forms such as proliferative DR and diabetic macular oedema, this requires ocular treatment such as laser and/or intravitreal injections (IVI) of antiangiogenic drugs and corticosteroids.
