Effect of Cryotherapy on Ophthalmology Outcomes: A Cross-Sectional Study of Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an important complication of diabetes mellitus associated with significant morbidity and vision impairment. Presently available treatment modalities, while effective, are often invasive and do come with various complications where. This study investigates cryotherapy as a new modality for treating diabetic retinopathy, assessing its benefits for visual outcomes and patient compliance and. Methods was This wide-ranging cross-sectional study concerned patients with varying grades of DR who underwent cryotherapy. Clinical data, including measurements of visual acuity and retinal imaging, were collected pre-and post-therapy to investigate outcomes. Standardized questionnaires were used to assess patient-reported experiences where the results which found Preliminary results suggest that cryotherapy may lead to clinically significant improvements in visual acuity among patients with advanced DR. Furthermore, there was much higher compliance and satisfaction with the treatment from the patients compared to the traditional intervention.

Conclusion: Cryotherapy is a promising and less invasive alternative for treating diabetic retinopathy; hence, it may improve compliance among patients and treatment results overall. Randomized clinical trials should further validate these results and provide clarity on cryotherapy's role in the global treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
