Retina
Retina is the rear area of the eye where images are captured and sent to the brain, just like a photographic film. Retinal diseases occur when the retina, macula or fovea are affected. Diagnosing retinal diseases is complex process and should be conducted by ophthalmologists with specialization in retinal treatments.
Common Retinal
Diseases
Diabetic
Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of vision loss in adults aged 20–74 years. Poor vision or loss of eye sight could be caused by diabetes. Blood vessels that nourish the retina get damaged due to diabetes.
Hypertensive
Retinopathy
It is usually found in people suffering from hypertension. The cause of hypertension has to be treated along with the eye.
Retinal
Detachment
This happens when the retina detaches itself from the layer of blood vessels behind it. This condition has to be treated immediately as permanent vision loss can happen.
Macular
Degeneration
It is usually due to ageing process. This condition happens when the tissue in the macula degenerates, affecting the central vision.
Vitreous
Hemorrhage
It is a condition of intraocular bleeding from retinal vessels leading to sudden vision loss
Uveitis
Uveitis is a form of inflammation of the eye. It affects the middle layer of tissue in the wall of the eye which is called uvea.
Central Retinal
Vein Occlusion
It is a condition of intraocular bleeding from retinal vessels leading to sudden vision loss
Advanced Diagnostic Modality
OCT
Most accurate method to document loss of optic nerve fibres
FUNDUS PHOTO
Most accurate method to document loss of optic nerve fibres
DIGITAL FFA ANGIOGRAPHY
Most accurate method to document loss of optic nerve fibres
PERIMETRY
Slit lamp Biomicroscopy
Indirect OPhthalmoscopy
Treatment Modality
LASERS
Retinal laser photocoagulation is an OPD procedure used to treat retinal conditions like diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, macular edema and retinal vein occlusions. It is most frequently used to seal a retinal tear to prevent retinal detachments which is a potentially blinding condition.
INTRAVITREAL INJETCIONS
An intravitreal injection is a procedure to place a medication (anti-VEGF, steroids & antibiotics) directly into the space behind the lens, called the vitreous cavity. It helps treating diseases like Diabetic macular edema, Cystoid macular edema, Age related macular degeneration, IPCV amongst others
MINIMALLY INVASIVE SUTURELESS VITRECTOMY SURGERY
Small gauge sutureless intraocular surgery is known as minimally invasive vitreous surgery (MIVS) is the modern day solution for retina problems.
