My mother has undergone the treament using visudyne for age-related macular degeneration a month ago by eye specialist. 2 weeks ago her blood glucose was detected to be at diabetic level, and never seem to have effect from the tablets prescribed by GP for diabetes patient. Just wonder if there is any relation between the visudyne treatment and diabetes.
Answer
I don’t think there is any cause and effect relationship that I know… However, wet ARMD can look like diabetic macular edema on an eye exam, so I would make sure that the doctor has the correct diagnosis. Treatment for diabetic macular edema does not include visudyne.
