Vitreoretinal Surgery
Vitreoretinal surgery refers to a group of procedures performed deep inside the eye where the retina (light-sensitive membrane) and vitreous (gel-like substance) are located using traditional surgical instruments...
Vitrectomy for Retinal Detachment
Vitrectomy is the surgical procedure that is widely used in the treatment of retinal detachment with large tears. The surgery may require an overnight stay or sometimes it is done as an outpatient procedure that lasts for 2-3 hours.
Intravitreal Injection for Macular Oedema
An intravitreal injection is a non-invasive eye procedure where medication is injected into the vitreous cavity - the space at the back of your eyes, near the retina. The vitreous cavity is filled with vitreous humor gel, a jelly-like fluid.
Intravitreal Steroids
Intravitreal steroids are anti-inflammatory medications that are placed into the center of the eyeball, which is known as the vitreous cavity, to help reduce swelling, improve vision, and alleviate eye pain in patients with certain inflammatory eye conditions.
Cataract Surgery in People with Retinal Diseases
Retinal diseases are conditions or disorders that affect your retina causing visual symptoms such as blurred vision. The retina is a thin layer of tissue present on the inner surface of the back of your eyeball.
Macular Laser for Central Serous Retinopathy
Laser treatment is considered to restore vision if central serous retinopathy does not resolve in 2-3 months and there are recurrent episodes of retinal detachment (detachment of the retina from its underlying layers of tissue).
Treatment for Complicated Retinal Detachment (PVR and TRD)
Vitrectomy and peeling techniques for complicated retinal detachment such as severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy and advanced diabetic tractional retinal detachment are found to be ineffective in achieving retinal reattachment.
Treatment for Retinal Detachment
Scleral buckling is a common treatment modality to fix a retinal detachment. The sclera (outer white part of the eye) is buckled (indented) by sewing silicone, rubber or a semi-hard plastic band to the surface of the eye.
Retinal Disease Treatment
Retinal diseases are conditions or disorders that affect your retina causing visual symptoms. The retina is a thin layer of tissue present on the inner surface of the back of your eyeball.
Treatment of Posterior Uveitis
Posterior uveitis causes inflammation in the back part of the uvea (middle layer of the eye which provides blood supply to the retina). Based on the cause and severity of the condition, our doctors will review the various options of treatment.
Treatments for Diabetic Macular Edema
Laser photocoagulation is the mainstay treatment for diabetic macular edema. It is the process of sealing leaking blood vessels, by focusing an intense beam of light (laser), to stop the excess accumulation of fluid in the macula.
Ocular Ultrasound
Ocular ultrasound, also known as ocular ultrasonography, “echo,” or a B-scan, is a non-invasive, safe diagnostic test employed to evaluate structural integrity and pathologies of the eye.
Diabetic Eye Examination
A diabetic eye examination is a test to check for problems of the eyes caused by diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia or the presence of high sugar (glucose) levels in the blood.
Cataract Surgery in Diabetics
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia or presence of high sugar (glucose) levels in the blood. It is one of the main factors that cause development of cataracts.
Vitreomacular Traction Syndrome
Vitreomacular traction syndrome is an eye disorder that leads to vision problems. It occurs when the vitreous gel does not completely detach from the retina and remains partially attached to the macula - the central part of the retina responsible for clear and detailed vision.
Retinoschisis
Retinoschisis, also called vitreoretinal dystrophy or congenital retinal cyst, is a rare eye disorder. It is characterised by the splitting of the retina into two layers, leading to the formation of tiny cysts between the layers.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of acquired blindness among people under the age of 65. The great majority of this blindness can be prevented with proper examination and treatment by ophthalmologists (eye MDs).
Retinal Vein Occlusion
The retina is the light-sensitive layer present at the back of the eye. It contains nerve cells that convert the focused image to an electrical signal which is then transmitted to the brain.
Retinal Vascular Diseases
Retinal vascular diseases, also called retinal vascular disorders include eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), and retinal artery occlusion (RAO).
Central Serous Retinopathy
Central Serous Retinopathy, also called Central Serous Chorioretinopathy, is an eye disorder characterized by fluid accumulation underneath the macular, causing visual distortion.
Retinal Detachment
Retinal Detachment is an eye disorder in which the retina (light receptive layer of tissue at the back of the eye) is pulled away from its normal position.
Retinal Tear
The retina is tissue present at the back of the eye that is responsible for vision. Severe near-sightedness, eye injury, cataract surgery or familial history may cause a retinal tear.
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) occurs due to a lack of blood supply to the retina caused by an occlusion or blockage in the central retinal artery which normally supplies blood and oxygen.
Vision Disorders
Vision disorders are the conditions that cause impairment in the sense of vision. These disorders are often caused by certain eye diseases or structural abnormalities of the eyeballs.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of legal blindness in the elderly Caucasian population but is relatively rare in other races.
Cataract
A cataract is a condition which causes clouding of lens in the eye resulting in blurry vision. The lens is situated behind the iris, the dark portion of the eye, and is not visible.
Eye Pain
Eye pain is a very common problem characterized by burning, aching, throbbing or stabbing feeling in and around the eye.
Blurred Vision
Blurred vision is a condition associated with decreased sharpness of vision, resulting in difficulty seeing fine details. It may be unilateral (one eye) or bilateral (both eyes).
Macular Edema
Macular edema refers to the swelling or thickening of the macula, the central part of the retina (light receptive tissue of the eye).
Macular Hole
A macular hole is a defect in the macula, the central part of the retina (light receptive tissue of the eye). The macula is responsible for the sharp central vision required for reading, driving, etc.
Ocular Ischemic Syndrome
Ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye causing vision loss and pain.
Diabetic Macular Oedema
Macular edema refers to the swelling or thickening of the macula, the central part of the retina, or the light receptive tissue of the eye.
