PDR

Tractional retinal detachment in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) often accompanies severe macular ischemia. Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is crucial for evaluating the extent of ischemia by visualizing areas of capillary dropout and non-perfusion. This detailed imaging assists in planning surgical intervention and assessing prognosis.

Tractional retinal detachment in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) can lead to noticeable retinal displacement. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging can reveal this displacement through the shift in the position of retinal vessels. This imaging technique helps in assessing the extent of retinal displacement and planning appropriate surgical intervention.

High-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is characterized by extensive neovascularization, posing a significant threat to vision. Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) is the standard treatment, aiming to regress neovascularization by creating controlled retinal burns that reduce oxygen demand and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production. This procedure helps stabilize the condition and prevent severe vision loss.

Single-session panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) has both advantages and disadvantages.

Pros:

Reduced number of clinic visits, saving time for both patients and healthcare providers.
Immediate and comprehensive treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, reducing the risk of further complications.
Decreased overall treatment duration and faster stabilization of the condition.
Cons:

Higher risk of patient discomfort and pain due to the longer procedure.
Increased chance of transient vision loss or visual field defects immediately post-treatment.
Greater potential for complications like macular edema due to the extensive treatment area in a single session.
