What is diabetic macular oedema?

Épisode 53

jeudi 6 novembre 2025 • Durée 20:24

Send us your feedback

In this episode of the My Macular and Me podcast we explore the topic of diabetic macular oedema (DMO), a leading cause of vision loss in people with diabetes.

We're joined by Samantha Da Silva, consultant ophthalmologist at Oxford Eye Hospital who specialises in medical retina disorders. Hosted by Geraldine Hoad, our Head of Research Grants, this episode explores what DMO actually is, how it develops, and the key symptoms to watch out for.

Samantha walks us through the diagnostic process, current treatment options including anti-VEGF therapy and laser treatment, and shares practical advice for anyone newly diagnosed with the condition. We also discuss the most promising developments in DMO research and what the future holds for prevention and care.

Whether you're living with diabetes, have been diagnosed with DMO, or are supporting someone who has, this episode provides essential information about protecting your vision and understanding your treatment options.

Can supplements slow the progression of late-stage AMD?

Épisode 42

jeudi 5 décembre 2024 • Durée 46:30

New research has found that taking a daily vitamin and mineral supplement can slow the progression of late-stage dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), otherwise known as geographic atrophy (GA).

Dr Tiarnan Keenan from the National Eye Institute joins us to discuss these new findings in more detail and answer your questions.

Previously, supplements, based on the AREDS2 formula, have only been recommended for those with the earlier stages of AMD. Listen to learn how this promising discovery could help maintain vision and independence longer for those with late-stage dry AMD.
