Hi.. NDPR refers to non proliferative diabetic retinopathy. It is one of the stages in early diabetic retinopathy where there is swelling on the macular region of the oedema. This condition can progress to the next stage which is proliferative retinopathy, if no correction is done.. The correction is mainly controlling the diabetes and no other special treatment.. Surgical treatment such as laser treatment, vitrectomy and others are indicated in proliferative retinopathy.. So you take care of your diabetes and keep your retina monitored by the doctors rrequently, you can prevent the complications and the need for the surgery.. All the best...

Non proliferative diabetic retinopathy. It is the early stage of of blood vessels affected in the eye due to diabetes.

It is usually not required. But there shall be string reasons to perform the same. Your Optholomologist can help to take a better decision.
