Retina Clinic

Retina Clinic

The retina is a thin, light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that converts light into visual signals sent to the brain. Conditions affecting the retina can interfere with vision and, if left untreated, may lead to serious sight-threatening complications. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to preserving vision and maintaining long-term eye health. At our Retina Clinic, we combine advanced diagnostic technology with specialist expertise to deliver early detection, timely intervention, and compassionate care helping patients protect their sight and quality of life

When to Seek a Retina Consultation

Prompt evaluation by a retina specialist is recommended if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Common warning signs include:

  •         Blurred, distorted, or warped vision
  •         Sudden flashes of light or new floaters
  •         Gradual or sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
  •         Dark patches, shadows, or blank spots in your field of vision

·         Difficulty seeing at night or in low-light conditions

Diagnosis & Treatment

The primary aim of treatment is to control or slow the progression of the condition while protecting, enhancing, or restoring vision. Because existing damage is often irreversible, early diagnosis is critical. The specialist will guide you in selecting the most appropriate treatment plan.

Retinal Conditions We Manage & Treat

Retinal conditions differ in their underlying causes and levels of severity, yet they have a common impact—they can affect visual function. The following are the most commonly diagnosed retinal conditions we manage and treat:

1. Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes-related eye condition caused by damage to the small blood vessels of the retina due to prolonged high blood sugar levels. It affects people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and becomes more likely the longer a person has diabetes. Without treatment, it can lead to significant vision loss. Diabetes also increases the risk of other eye conditions, including glaucoma and cataracts.

2. Sickle Cell Retinopathy

Sickle cell retinopathy is a complication of sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder where red blood cells become misshapen and can block blood flow. When blood supply to the retina is disrupted, it can cause retinal damage and progressive vision problems if not monitored and treated.

3. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) affects the macula—the part of the retina responsible for detailed central vision. It occurs in two forms:
  • Dry AMD: Involves gradual thinning of macular tissue, resulting in progressive vision decline.
    Wet AMD: Develops when abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the retina and leak fluid or blood, causing more rapid vision loss.

4. Retinal detachment

Retinal detachment is a medical emergency that occurs when the retina pulls away from its supporting tissue. This separation disrupts normal retinal function and can result in sudden vision loss if immediate treatment is not provided.
