The detached retina is a serious and sight-threatening experience, occurring when the retina becomes separated from its primary supportive tissue. The retina cannot work when these layers are detached. And unless soon the retina is reattached, permanent vision loss may result.
Our retina specialists provide comprehensive care for diabetic retinopathy, a condition that affects the blood vessels in the retina and can lead to vision loss in patients with diabetes.
We offer advanced treatments for AMD, a common condition that affects the central part of the retina and can cause blurred or distorted vision.
Our retina specialists are experienced in diagnosing and managing retinal vascular diseases such as retinal vein occlusion and arterial occlusion, which can cause vision loss due to blocked blood vessels in the retina.
Intravitreal injection is a specialized procedure that involves injecting medication directly into the vitreous cavity, which is the jelly-like substance that fills the middle of the eye. This procedure is commonly used as a treatment option for various retinal conditions, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and other retinal inflammatory diseases.
Our state of art technology suite provides timely diagnosis & better outcomes for your visual health.
The retina is a thin, delicate tissue located at the back of the eye that is responsible for detecting light and sending visual signals to the brain, allowing us to see.
Some common retinal conditions include retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal vein occlusion, macular holes, and epiretinal membranes, among others.
Risk factors for retinal conditions may include age, family history of retinal diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, high myopia (nearsightedness), previous eye surgery or trauma, and certain systemic diseases or medications.
Symptoms of retinal conditions may include sudden or gradual vision loss, blurred or distorted vision, floaters (spots or specks in the field of vision), flashes of light, and changes in peripheral or central vision.
Treatment options for retinal conditions depend on the specific condition and its severity, and may include laser therapy, intravitreal injections of medications (such as anti-VEGF agents or corticosteroids), vitrectomy (surgical removal of the vitreous gel), cryotherapy, retinal detachment repair surgery, and other interventions tailored to the individual case.
After an intravitreal injection, it is important to follow the instructions provided by your eye care provider, which may include using prescribed eye drops as directed, avoiding eye rubbing or excessive eye contact, protecting the eye from dust, dirt, or bright sunlight, and attending all scheduled follow-up visits for monitoring and further treatment, if needed.
