Protecting the Foundation of Your Vision

What are Retinal Diseases?

Retinal diseases include various conditions that affect the retinal tissue, impacting how light is captured and transmitted to the brain. Because the retina consists of neural tissue, damage to this layer is often permanent if not treated quickly. Our specialists aim to identify the specific cause of vision distortion, whether it is vascular, degenerative, or structural, to provide immediate treatment.

Advanced Technology: Vitreoretinal Diagnostic Pillars

3D Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):

We use high-definition OCT to see individual retinal layers in near-microscopic detail. This helps our specialists detect fluid accumulation, macular holes, or traction before they are visible during a standard exam. It is our primary tool for monitoring the effectiveness of anti-VEGF injections.

Digital Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA):

For managing vascular diseases like retinal vein occlusions, we use FFA to map blood flow within the eye. By injecting a specialized dye, we identify exactly where vessels are leaking or where the retina lacks oxygen, allowing for precise laser or medicinal treatment.

Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging:

Standard exams cover about 30% of the retina. Our widefield imaging technology captures up to 200 degrees of the retina in a single image. This is crucial for spotting peripheral retinal tears or early-stage detachments that traditional equipment might miss.

High-Frequency B-Scan Ocular Ultrasound:

When the internal view of the eye is blocked by blood or dense cataracts, we use B-scan ultrasound. This imaging technique lets us "see" the retina’s position and health through opaque materials, which is vital for planning emergency sight-saving surgeries.

Our Retinal Specializations

We specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the back segment of the eye, including:

– Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD): Managing both “Dry” and “Wet” ARMD to help maintain central vision.
– Retinal Detachment: Providing urgent surgical care for retinal tears and detachments to prevent permanent blindness.
– Macular Hole & Epiretinal Membranes: Performing precision microsurgery to fix structural issues in the macula, which is the center of vision.
– Retinal Vascular Occlusions: Treating “eye strokes” caused by blockages in retinal veins or arteries.

Vitreoretinal Treatment Options

Following NABH guidelines, we provide a range of medical and surgical treatments designed to stabilize the retina:

– Intravitreal Injections: We administer Anti-VEGF agents (Lucentis, Eylea, PDS) and specialized steroid implants for macular edema and ARMD.
– Retinal Laser Photocoagulation: Using precision laser therapy to seal leaking vessels or secure retinal tears before they progress to a detachment.
– Micro-Incisional Vitrectomy Surgery (MIVS): Performing “stitchless” 23G or 25G microsurgery for complex issues like vitreous hemorrhage or macular holes.
– Pneumatic Retinopexy: A minimally invasive technique using gas bubbles to reattach the retina in specific types of detachments.
