Understanding the Retina: A Vital Part of Your Vision
The retina is the thin layer of tissue lining the back of the eye responsible for capturing light and sending visual signals to the brain. It includes structures such as the macula—which enables sharp central vision—and the vitreous body that supports the eye’s shape. Damage to any of these components can lead to vision loss or even blindness.
Common Retina Conditions We Treat
1. Diabetic Retinopathy
A major complication of diabetes, diabetic retinopathy damages the retina's blood vessels and can lead to diabetic macular edema (DME) and vision loss.
Symptoms: Blurred vision, dark spots, difficulty seeing at night.
Treatments: Intravitreal injections (anti-VEGF), laser retina surgery, and vitrectomy.
2. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
AMD is a progressive condition that affects the macula, leading to central vision loss in people over 50.
Dry AMD: Managed with nutritional support and lifestyle changes.
Wet AMD: Treated with anti-VEGF injections and occasionally photodynamic therapy (PDT).
3. Retinal Detachment and Tears
When the retina pulls away from the back of the eye, it requires emergency treatment.
Symptoms: Flashes, floaters, or a curtain over the field of vision.
Treatment options: Vitrectomy, scleral buckling, or pneumatic retinopexy.
4. Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO)
Blockage of retinal veins leads to bleeding and fluid accumulation.
Treatment: Intravitreal injections and laser therapy to prevent further damage.
5. Macular Hole and Macular Pucker (Epiretinal Membrane)
Both conditions distort central vision and are typically treated with micro-incision vitrectomy surgery.
6. Retinitis Pigmentosa
A genetic disease causing gradual peripheral vision loss and night blindness. While incurable, early diagnosis helps in vision preservation and adaptation.
7. Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
Affecting premature infants, ROP can cause blindness without early detection.
Our team provides laser therapy and injection-based care for at-risk newborns.
8. Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSCR)
CSCR leads to fluid accumulation under the retina and causes vision distortion.
Management: Observation, medications, or laser treatment, depending on severity.
