Retinal diseases encompass a wide spectrum, ranging from common, treatable conditions to rare and complex disorders that require advanced diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Symptoms of retinal diseases can include floaters, blurred vision, or even vision loss. Among the leading causes of retinal blindness is Diabetic Retinopathy, a condition closely linked to diabetes.
As the "Diabetes Capital of the World," India is home to approximately 50 million people living with diabetes. Studies indicate that 15% to 25% of this population may develop diabetic retinopathy over time, with the risk increasing without regular eye care. West Bengal, ranked 4th among Indian states with the highest diabetic retinopathy population, faces a significant public health challenge in this regard.
Siliguri Lions Netralaya (SLN), has launched a long-term initiative to prevent and manage diabetic retinopathy. As pioneers in advanced eye care, SLN established the region's first dedicated Vitreo-Retina Department in 2005.
