Living with diabetes means managing a lot, but don’t overlook your eyes. High blood sugar can quietly damage your retina before you notice vision changes. A yearly retina exam, or dilated fundus exam, helps catch problems early and protect your sight.

November Image of the Month features Proliferative Leukemic Retinopathy. In honor of Blood Cancer Awareness month in September, we present a very severe case of proliferative leukemic retinopathy, with numerous intraretinal and preretinal hemorrhages in addition to Roth spots, which are hemorrhages with a white center. Acute or chronic leukemia can have ocular findings, and the it is thought that it arises as a product of the increased blood viscosity. There is no specific treatment for leukemic retinopathy beyond treating the underlying leukemia.

October Image of the Month features the End Stage Or Severe Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy. In this photo, we see a very severe case of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). PVR is characterized by the abnormal growth of scar tissue on the surface, below, and within the retina, and occurs as a complication of retinal detachment, more common in patients with ocular trauma. The scarring process leads to traction on the retina, resulting in retinal detachment and poor vision. The only treatment for PVR is retinal surgery; as of right now, there are no FDA approved treatments for PVR. In the photo above, the patient appears to have had retinal surgery, but the disease has unfortunately progressed. It is not likely that this patient would benefit from further surgery.
