The view was enhanced using the red-free light. As there was no signs of pre-retinal or vitreous haemorrhage and the vessels occupied less than 1/4 of the disc, pan-photocoagulation was not performed (In accordance with the DRS study). The patient was advised regarding the important of tight diabetic control (refers to DCCT study) and was referred to the diabetologists for further advice. A review was scheduled in 4-week time and she was advised to contact the eye casuatly should she experienced any sudden decrease in vision which may be caused by haemorrhage. | |||
