When my father visited SNU Eye Clinic through Cloud Hospital, Dr. Chung Eui Sang explained diabetic retinopathy in a very clear and simple way. He said that diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina due to long-term high blood sugar levels. This can lead to symptoms like blurry vision, floaters, or even vision loss if not treated in time.
Dr. Chung Eui Sang also went over the treatment options available at the clinic. These included laser therapy to seal leaking blood vessels, anti-VEGF injections to reduce swelling, and in some cases, surgery. He emphasized the importance of regular monitoring and blood sugar control. Thanks to his guidance, my father understood his condition better and felt confident about managing it. The approach at SNU Eye Clinic was both professional and reassuring.
My friend had diabetic retinopathy, and we found help through Cloud Hospital, which connected us with Global Ubal Eye Center in Korea. Diabetic retinopathy was affecting his vision slowly—it started with blurry vision, then sometimes he’d see dark spots or have trouble seeing clearly at night. The doctors explained that this happens when high blood sugar damages the blood vessels in the retina, leading to leaks, swelling, or even bleeding inside the eye.
At the clinic, he was treated by a great team including Dr. Heecheol Bae and Dr. Youngmin Kim, who used advanced scans to check the condition of his retina. His treatment plan included injections to reduce swelling, laser therapy, and strict blood sugar control. The care was personalized and well-explained. Thanks to doctors like Dr. Young-cheol Park, Dr. Yun Cheol Park, and Dr. Shinyoung Hwang, his vision improved and the condition was managed before it got worse. He really appreciated the smooth and supportive process arranged through Cloud Hospital.
A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy and went through treatment at SNU Eye Clinic, all arranged smoothly through Cloud Hospital. She learned that diabetic retinopathy happens when high blood sugar damages tiny blood vessels in the retina, which can cause things like blurry vision, dark spots, or even sudden vision loss if it’s not caught early.
At the clinic, Dr. Chung Eui Sang took the time to explain everything clearly. Depending on how advanced the condition is, treatments can include laser therapy to stop leaking blood vessels, injections that reduce swelling, or surgery if needed. What really helped my friend was the detailed retinal scans and personalized treatment plan they created for her. Thanks to the care she received, her vision has stabilized, and she feels much more hopeful about managing the condition going forward.
From what I’ve heard through Cloud Hospital and relatives treated at SNU Eye Clinic, diabetic retinopathy affects your vision because high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina, which is the part of your eye that helps you see. When these vessels leak or swell, your vision can become blurry or spotty. If it gets worse, new fragile blood vessels may grow and even bleed, which can cause serious vision problems or even loss of sight if not treated.
At SNU Eye Clinic, Dr. Chung Eui Sang and his team offer several treatment options depending on how advanced the condition is. In the early stages, controlling blood sugar is really important to stop the damage from getting worse. If the condition has progressed, they use treatments like laser therapy to seal leaking vessels, eye injections to reduce swelling, and sometimes surgery if needed. The clinic focuses on personalized care, making sure every patient gets the right treatment to protect their vision and feel supported throughout the process.
