Our vision is dependent on the health of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. Poorly managed or advanced cases of diabetes can cause the blood vessels on the retina to swell and leak fluid, leading to vision loss. In fact, the condition, known as diabetic retinopathy, is a leading cause of blindness in American adults. Fortunately, diabetic retinopathy is treatable. Retinal specialists Dr. Sean Lalin offers advanced treatment for diabetics whose vision has been compromised. Cutting-edge laser photocoagulation is available at our Morristown, Hackettstown, and Phillipsburg locations. This safe, effective treatment option can dramatically slow vision loss, and one of our doctors can determine whether it is right for you during an evaluation at our practice.
