Medical Retina

Overview

Medical retina is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that focuses on the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting the retina—the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. This field encompasses various conditions that can lead to vision loss if not properly treated.

Our doctors dedicated to managing various retina-related conditions including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, vein occlusion, macular edema, and retinopathy of prematurity in premature babies The department includes latest and sophisticated medical and diagnostic equipment’s like

  • Topcon FFA
  • Carl Zeiss Green Laser
  • Topcon OCT

As a part of reaching to more public and to create awareness regarding Diabetics and Diabetic Retinopathy, monthly/bi-monthly DR camps has also been conducted periodically with the help of like-minded people in the nearby areas of the hospital. Till date over 1084 pts treated at our hospital.

Types of Retinal Conditions
  • Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD): A progressive condition that damages the macula, leading to loss of central vision.
    Divided into two types: dry (atrophic) and wet (neovascular).
  • Diabetic Retinopathy A complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina.
  • Normal-Tension Glaucoma: In this type, optic nerve damage occurs even though the eye pressure is not very high.
  • Secondary Glaucoma: This type results from another eye condition, injury, or medication.
    Can lead to vision impairment and blindness if not managed.
  • Retinal Detachment: Occurs when the retina separates from its underlying tissue.
    Requires immediate medical intervention to prevent permanent vision loss.
  • Retinal Vein Occlusion: Blockage of veins in the retina, similar to a stroke.
    Can result in sudden vision loss.
  • Retinal Tears: Small breaks in the retina that can lead to detachment if untreated.

Symptoms of Retinal Conditions

  • Blurred or distorted vision.
  • Sudden appearance of floaters or flashes of light.
  • Dark or empty areas in the field of vision.
  • Difficulty seeing fine details.
  • Sudden loss of vision.

Treatment Options

    Our hospital provides a comprehensive range of treatments for retinal conditions, including:

  • Laser Therapy: Used to seal retinal tears and treat abnormal blood vessels.
    Effective in managing conditions like diabetic retinopathy and retinal tears.
  • Vitrectomy: A surgical procedure to remove the vitreous gel from the eye.
    Often performed to repair retinal detachments or remove vitreous hemorrhage.
  • Intravitreal Injections: Medications injected directly into the eye.
    Used to treat conditions like AMD, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion.
