Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading cause of vision loss in working age population in industrialized countries. Therapeutical options include a wide range of procedures from retinal laser photocoagulation, intravitreal drug application to surgical intervention (pars plana vitrectomy).
These therapeutical modalities overlap each other in indications and the most effective approach seems to be their mutual combination using their synergistic effect. On the two clinical cases we present the therapeutical deliberation and the current trends in the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
