Clinical Overview
Diabetic Retinopathy is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes that damages the delicate blood vessels in the retina, potentially causing fluid leakage (diabetic macular edema) or bleeding inside the eye. If unmanaged, it is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. At SOCH Eye Care, we provide advanced screening using High-Definition Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and digital fundus cameras. Our treatment clinic specializes in target-oriented Green Laser Photocoagulation and intravitreal injections of Anti-VEGF agents (like Lucentis, Eylea, or Accentrix) to shrink abnormal blood vessels, resolve swelling, and stabilize sight.
Advanced Treatment Options & Technology
Your Treatment Journey at SOCH
