IMPROVEMENT OF DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT METHODS FOR DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus and a major cause of visual impairment worldwide. The study aimed to improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy through optimization of early detection algorithms and selection of appropriate therapeutic strategies. A total of 60 patients with diabetic retinopathy treated at the Regional Hospital of Eye Diseases in Andijan were examined using ophthalmoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Comparative analysis of laser photocoagulation and surgical interventions demonstrated that early diagnosis combined with individualized treatment significantly reduced disease progression and improved visual outcomes. The combined use of modern diagnostic methods allows earlier identification of retinal changes and contributes to better management of diabetic retinopathy.
