Macular Ischemia | ||
Macular Ischemia is a broad condition which can contribute in diabetic related eye conditions and vascular diseases. | ||
| ||
Macular Ischemia is the process where small blood vessels close causing lack of blood supply to the macula. | ||
| ||
Macular Ischemia can cause a decrease in vision. | ||
| ||
Regular eye exams and special photography called a fluorescein angiogram and optical coherence tomography are used in diagnosing this condition. | ||
| ||
Unfortunately, at this time there are no successful macular ischemia treatments. However, if you are diabetic or have been diagnosed with a vascular retinal disease close observation is recommended. | ||

Regular eye exams, good blood sugar and blood pressure control is often recommended. | ||
