If treatment is needed, it depends on many factors, including how advanced the damage is to your eyes, how controlled your diabetes is and your overall health.  One might need treatment to reduce the inflammation or stop the formation of new blood vessels, or even surgery to repair the retina. Yearly diabetic eye exams allow us to monitor your status and prevent further complications.
