Q: When do i need treatment for diabetic eye disease?

There are two main eye disease conditions which will need treatment:

• When you have Maculopathy (CMO) which has led to a swelling in your central area and is causing, or threatening to cause, a decrease in your vision.
• When you have Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy which is caused by the development of new faulty blood vessels on your retina.
