Hello lybrate-user. Diabetic retinopathy is a problem where in the retina is affected by uncontrolled systemic diabetes mellitus. It may occur independently or in concurrence with glaucoma. The optic nerve is invariably affected when diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma affect the eye. I have a few suggestions for you: (1) strict metabolic control for your blood sugar. Visit your diabetologist and get the dosage of insulin modified if required. (2) your retina specialist along with the glaucoma specialist should be able to help you with your eye issues. You may require laser treatment in the eye. Also, it would be a good idea to get an oct scan of the eye done. The scan would give a good idea about the status of the macula as well as the optic nerve. If required, injections for the eye would be suggested. (3) simultaneously, the eye pressure would need strict vigorous control by means of eye drops. If the pressure stays out of controlled, the glaucoma specialist may advice you for surgery as well. All in all, diabetes is a systemic disease and systemic control would be the best means of control in order to prevent further eye problems. Additional treatment in the form of retina laser and injection may help to aid the recovery. Hope my suggestions helped you. Take care.
