Eye Treatments in Croatia
Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment
Diabetic Retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. It's caused by damage to the blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina). The condition can progressively worsen and potentially lead to blindness. Treatment options include: Focal/Grid Laser Photocoagulation, Intravitreal Injections (Anti-VEGF agents or Corticosteroids), and Vitrectomy. These interventions aim to reduce the risk of vision loss and improve overall visual function.
In Croatia:
Diabetic Retinopathy is treated through laser surgery or injection of antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs to prevent leaking and save vision loss. Croatian hospitals offer these treatments with advanced technology.
Additional:
