A woman in her fifties with poorly controlled diabetes visited the ophthalmology department of the National New Hospital due to vision problems, assuming it was cataracts only to discover proliferative diabetic retinopathy after a dilated eye exam. The doctor promptly arranged fluorescein angiography and intravitreal anti-VEGF injections and laser treatment to prevent further deterioration. The article emphasizes the importance of early detection and monitoring to prevent diabetic eye complications, especially for pregnant women with diabetes. Modern lifestyles and diet contribute to the increasing prevalence of diabetes and associated eye diseases, warranting regular eye exams and comprehensive care to preserve vision and quality of life.
