NY Ophthalmologist Andreas Wolter, M.D. of Seeta Eye Centers in Poughkeepsie, New York discussed the need for extra diligence for diabetic patients who are pregnant or considering getting pregnant as the management of diabetic retinopathy risk is critical. “Most women today are well aware of the effects of pregnancy on hormones, but they may not realize that these hormonal changes can accelerate the damage to the small blood vessels in the retina leading to rapid acceleration of diabetic retinopathy during pregnancy,” said Dr. Wolter. “We strongly recommend that we work side by side with diabetic patients, their obstetricians and sometimes even retina specialists during preconception as well as during the actual pregnancy and post pregnancy period to insure early diagnosis and intervention if needed. In this we can we can minimize the risk of diabetic retinopathy and achieve optimal patient outcomes’, summarized Dr. Wolter.
