Understanding the Retina

Retina Symptoms

The retina is a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye that plays a crucial role in vision. It captures light and sends signals to the brain, allowing you to see clearly. Any damage to the retina can lead to serious vision problems, including permanent blindness if left untreated. At Sohana Eye Hospital, we are dedicated to providing the best care for your retina health.

Our treatments are designed to address a wide range of retina conditions, from common issues like diabetic retinopathy to complex problems like retina detachment. Diagnostics forming the backbone of every successful treatment, we provide a very advanced small pupil fundus camera for Fundus Fluorescein Angiography and a precise Optical Coherence Tomography system. So, if you’re facing any issues with your retina, our retina experts are always there to help you and ensure that you get the best possible treatment.

SYMPTOMS OF RETINA DISORDERS

  • Floaters or flashes of light
  • Blurred or distorted vision
  • Loss of peripheral vision
  • A sudden increase in floaters
  • A curtain-like shadow over vision
  • Pain or discomfort in your eye
  • Seeing “cobwebs” or other shapes
  • Blood or other fluids in your eye

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR RETINA

  • Fundus Photography
  • Fluorescein Angiography (FA)
  • ICG Angiography
  • OCT Macula
  • OCT Angiography
  • Ultrasonography (B-Scan)
  • Visual Field Testing
  • ERG, EOG, VEP
COMMON RETINA CONDITIONS

Retina Problems We Treat

COMMON RETINA CONDITIONS

Retina Problems We Treat

Diabetic Retinopathy Problem

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina. If left untreated, it can lead to vision loss. We offer laser treatments, intravitreal injections, and surgical options to manage this condition and prevent further damage.

 Macular Degeneration (AMD) problem

Macular Degeneration (AMD)

AMD is a common condition that affects central vision, making it difficult to read or recognize faces. We provide treatments like anti-VEGF injections and laser therapy to slow the progression of AMD and help you maintain your quality of life.

Retina Detachment problem

Retina Detachment

Retina detachment is a medical emergency where the retina pulls away from its normal position. We offer surgical treatments like vitrectomy, scleral buckling, and pneumatic retinopexy to reattach the retina and restore your vision.

Retina Tears and Holes problem

Retina Tears and Holes

Retina tears or holes can lead to retina detachment if not treated promptly. We use laser therapy or cryopexy (freezing treatment) to seal the tears and prevent further complications.

Macular Edema problem

Macular Edema

Macular edema occurs when fluid builds up in the macula, the central part of the retina, causing blurred vision. We treat this condition with intravitreal injections or laser therapy to reduce swelling and improve vision.

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)  Problem

ROP

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a condition that affects the retinas of premature babies. It occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina, which can lead to scarring and retina detachment if left untreated. ROP is a serious condition that requires timely intervention.

Retina Vein Occlusion  Problem

Retina Vein Occlusion

This occurs when veins in the retina become blocked, leading to swelling and vision issues. This kind of retina disease can be cured by 2 kinds of treatments: branch retina vein occlusion treatment or central retina vein occlusion treatment.

Timely treatment is the key to prevent vision loss.

OUR RETINA TREATMENTS

Laser Surgery

What it is: Laser surgery for retina is a procedure that uses a focused beam of light to treat retina conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy or retina tears.

How it works: The laser creates tiny burns on the retina to seal the leaking blood vessels or to repair the tears. This helps prevent further damage and stabilizes your vision.

Benefits
  • Minimally invasive and typically performed in an outpatient setting.
  • Effective in preventing progression of retina diseases.
  • Quick recovery with minimal discomfort.

Intravitreal Injections

What it is: Intravitreal injections are used to deliver medication directly into the vitreous (the gel-like substance inside the eye) to treat conditions like wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or diabetic macular edema.

How it works: Anti-VEGF drugs (e.g., Lucentis, Eylea) or steroids are injected into the eye to reduce swelling, block abnormal blood vessel growth, and prevent further vision loss.

Benefits:
  • Slows or stops disease progression in many cases.
  • Can improve vision in patients with wet AMD or diabetic macular edema.
  • Quick procedure with minimal downtime.

Vitrectomy

What it is: Vitrectomy is a common and effective surgical procedure used to treat severe retina conditions like retina detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, or scar tissue on the retina.

How it works: The surgeon removes the vitreous gel from the eye and replaces it with a clear solution. This allows access to the retina for repairs, such as reattaching the retina or removing scar tissue.

Benefits:
  • Restores vision in cases of severe retina damage.
  • Addresses complex retina issues effectively.
  • Customized aftercare for optimal recovery.
Vitrectomy

Retina Detachment Repair

What it is: Retina detachment needs a surgical intervention to reattach the retina to the back of the eye, and to prevent permanent vision loss.

How it works: Depending on the severity, techniques like pneumatic retinopexy (injecting a gas bubble to push the retina back), scleral buckling (placing a band around the eye), or vitrectomy are used by our surgeons to treat retina detachment at Sohana Eye Hospital.

Benefits:
  • High success rate when treated early.
  • Prevents complete vision loss.
  • Tailored approach based on the type and severity of detachment.

Diabetic Retinopathy

What it is: A combination of treatments to manage diabetic retinopathy, a condition caused by high blood sugar damaging the retina.

How it works: Depending on the stage, treatments may include laser therapy to seal leaking blood vessels, intravitreal injections to reduce swelling, or vitrectomy to remove blood and scar tissue.

Benefits:
  • Slows or stops disease progression.
  • Prevents severe vision loss.
  • Improves quality of life for diabetic patients.

AMD Management

What it is: A treatment plan to manage Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a condition that damages the macula - the central part of the retina.

How it works: For dry AMD, lifestyle changes, regular monitoring and nutritional supplements are usually recommended by the doctor. For wet AMD, anti-VEGF injections or laser therapy are used to block abnormal blood vessel growth.

Benefits:
  • Slows progression of the disease.
  • Preserves remaining vision.
  • Improves quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is retina surgery?

Answer: Retina surgery is a specialized procedure used to treat problems with the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye responsible for vision. It can address issues like a detached retina, remove scar tissue, or treat other retina conditions that affect your eyesight.
Answer: Retina surgery is often recommended for people with specific eye conditions, such as retina detachment, macular holes, or diabetic retinopathy. These issues can seriously affect your vision. Surgery may be the best way to treat them. Our ophthalmologists at Sohana Eye Hospital, the best eye hospital in North India, will properly check your eyes and determine if retina surgery is the ideal treatment for you.
Answer: Recovery time after retina surgery depends on the type of procedure you’ve had. If you’ve undergone laser treatment, the recovery period is typically around 1 to 2 weeks. For more complex surgeries, such as retina detachment repair, it can take longer—sometimes several weeks or even months. If you’ve had a vitrectomy, full recovery could take up to 3 months. Regardless of the type of surgery, it is important to follow your doctor’s advice and adhere to their post-op instructions carefully.
Answer: During retina surgery, you will be given either local or general anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. After the surgery, though, you may experience some soreness or mild discomfort as your eye starts to heal. This can last for a few days or even some weeks, depending on the type of surgery and how quickly your body recovers.
