Medical Retina Management

Retinal disorders are eye conditions that damage the light-sensitive tissue (RETINA)at the back of the eye.

• Sudden or increasing number of floaters: Small specks or cobweb-like structures that appear to move across your vision.

• Flashes of light: Bright flashes in your field of vision.

• Blurry or distorted vision: Difficulty seeing clearly or straight.

• Sudden vision loss: A feeling of a curtain or grayness falling across your sight.

• Blind spots in your central or peripheral vision (vision to the sides of your central vision).

• Difficulty seeing at night or adjusting when the light changes.

• Visual Acuity Test: Checks the smallest letters that can be read.

• Tonometry: Measures the pressure inside the eye.

• Refraction test: Check eyeglass prescription.

• Color vision test: Assesses color perception

• Slit-lamp examination: Examines the front and middle parts of the eye.

• Amsler Grid Test : A simple test to detect visual distortions, which can be an early sign of macular degeneration.

• Dilated Fundus Evaluation: A routine eye exam where the pupils are dilated to allow a thorough examination of the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels.

• Fundus Photography : Captures images of the retina, enabling doctors to identify various retinal diseases.

• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):OCT uses light waves to create detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, helping to assess the extent of disease and the health of the retina.

• Old Age.

• Smoking.

• Diabetes, 

• Hypertension

• Previous retinal tears or detachments.

• Having had previous eye injuries or surgeries.

• Family history of retinal diseases.

• Severe myopia (being very nearsighted).

• Medication such as hydroxychloroquine 

1) Topical medication(eye drops):

Some retinal conditions require topical medications.

2) Intravitreal Injections of Medicines like,

Anti VEGF & Steroid 

These Injections are recommended for the following retinal conditions:

• Wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD).

• Advanced diabetic retinopathy.

• Macular edema from various causes.

• Eye infections.
