Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most important reasons people with diabetes need regular eye exams. At Pooja Eye Hospital – Phaco & Laser Centre in Bhusawal, Dr. Kishor Ajnadkar and Dr. Pushkar Ajnadkar help patients from Jalgaon district protect their sight with timely screening, counselling and advanced laser care — including our green laser facility.
What is diabetic retinopathy?
Diabetic retinopathy affects the eyes of people with diabetes. High blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina — the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. Think of the retina like the film in a camera: if it gets damaged, the pictures (your vision) become blurry or may be permanently lost.
In early stages, diabetic retinopathy often has no symptoms. You might not notice any change even while damage is occurring. That is why check-ups matter before vision fades.
Green laser at Pooja Eye Hospital
Pooja Eye Hospital offers a state-of-the-art green laser facility for selected retina treatments. When laser therapy is recommended, targeted light beams can help seal leaking vessels and limit abnormal vessel growth — protecting sight when timed correctly.

Why early detection is important
Early diabetic retinopathy can be silent. Regular dilated eye examinations allow your doctor to find and treat problems before permanent vision loss. Patients who keep sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol under control — and keep eye appointments — give themselves the best chance of stable vision.
Signs to watch for
While early stages may be silent, as the condition progresses you might notice:
- Blurry or wavy vision
- Dark spots or “floaters” that look like cobwebs
- Difficulty seeing colours
- Vision loss or dark areas in your field of view
Any sudden change in vision deserves prompt attention at an eye hospital — not a wait-and-see approach.
Treatment options
If treatment is needed, several options can help protect your sight:
- Managing blood sugar: Keeping sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol in check is the foundation of slowing eye damage.
- Injections: Medications injected into the eye can reduce swelling and help shrink abnormal blood vessels when indicated.
- Laser therapy: Targeted light beams seal leaking vessels and help prevent them from growing back — including green laser care at our hospital.
- Surgery: For advanced cases, a surgeon may remove blood or scar tissue from inside the eye to help restore or protect vision.
Next steps at Pooja Eye Hospital
The most important step is to schedule a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year — or sooner if your physician or eye doctor advises closer follow-up. Early detection is the key to maintaining vision and quality of life.
