Conditions we Treat

About

Diabetic maculopathy is a condition that occurs when the macula, the part of the eye which provides us with our central vision is damaged. The macula is responsible for fine vision (reading, writing, watching television, and recognising faces). Patients with diabetes may develop macular oedema (swelling of the retina) due to leaking of fluid from blood vessels. This causes the vision to become blurred.

What is Diabetic Retinopathy?

Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of long-term uncontrolled diabetes resulting from persistently high blood sugar levels over the years. This condition affects the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, impairing its ability to transmit clear images to the brain through the optic nerve.

At Moorfields Eye Hospitals, our retina specialists in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have extensive sub-speciality training in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Using the latest retinal imaging and advanced therapeutic techniques, they provide tailored care to slow disease progression, protect sight, and support patients in maintaining their long-term eye health and quality of life.

What is dry eye disease?

Dry Eye Disease is a condition in which the eye does not produce tears properly, or when the tears are not of the correct consistency and evaporate too rapidly. If left untreated, this condition can lead to inflammation and pain, ulcers, scarring of the cornea, and some loss of vision.
