Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Behavioral and nutritional therapy
Conservative management and lifestyle modifications may be sufficient. Monitor symptoms.
Fluorescein Angiography and OCT Angiography
Advanced imaging to characterize retinal vascular abnormalities including microaneurysms, non-perfusion areas, and neovascularization. Guides treatment decisions and monitors response to therapy.
Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injections for Retinal Neovascularization
Repeated intravitreal administration of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents to suppress abnormal vessel growth and reduce vascular permeability. Standard of care for proliferative diabetic retinopathy and wet macular degeneration.
Additional treatment options
Systemic Glycemic and Hypertension Control
Coordination with endocrinology and primary care for optimal management of diabetes and hypertension which drive retinal vascular pathology. Tight control reduces progression of microvascular complications.
medicationPanretinal Photocoagulation
Scatter laser treatment to ablate ischemic retinal areas responsible for secreting vasoproliferative factors. Reduces risk of vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment in proliferative retinopathies.
surgicalVitrectomy for Vascular Complications
Surgical removal of vitreous and membranes when hemorrhage or traction threatens retinal architecture. Addresses mechanical complications of proliferative vascular disease unresponsive to medical therapy.
