Medical Retina Management

Retinal disorders are eye conditions that damage the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, with key symptoms including floaters, flashes, and blurred vision, often requiring urgent medical attention.

Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection, and protective lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, exercise, and smoking cessation can support retinal health.

• 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).

Investigations  DoneAt Our Clinic:

• Visual acuity test: Checks the smallest letters that can be read.

• Tonometry: Measures the pressure inside the eye.

• Refraction test: Checks 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 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.

Topical medication(eye drops) :

• Some retinal conditions require topical medications.

Injections of medicine into the eye treat the following retinal conditions:

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

    • Advanced diabetic retinopathy.

    • Macular edema from various causes.
