What Are Retinal Diseases?

Your retina acts like the camera sensor of your eye, converting light into signals that the brain can understand. When your retina faces issues, it can affect how you see the world. That’s why keeping your retina healthy is essential for preserving clear vision. At our centre, we treat a wide range of retinal diseases, each requiring specialized care. Here are some of the common retinal conditions :

What Are Retinal Diseases?

At Kailash Eye Care, we approach each of these conditions with a deep understanding and an array of treatment modalities, ensuring that every patient receives the most effective and personalized care.

• Diabetic Retinopathy: Diabetic retinopathy is damage to the blood vessels in the retina due to uncontrolled diabetes.It's one of the leading causes of blindness if left untreated.
• Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): AMD affects the central part of the retina (macula), leading to a decline in central vision, which is essential for tasks like reading and driving.
• Retinal Detachment: Retinal detachment is a serious condition where the retina separates from the underlying tissue, causing vision loss. Immediate medical intervention is crucial.
• Macular Hole: A macular hole is a small tear in the macula,the central part of the retina, that leads to blurry or distorted central vision.
• Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO): Retinal vein occlusion occurs when one of the veins in the retina becomes blocked, leading to swelling and potential vision loss.

Diagnostic Modalities:

We invest in cutting-edge retinal care technology to provide the highest level of precision in diagnosis and treatment. Here’s how we ensure you get the best care:

• OCT Angiography: OCT Angiography is an advanced diagnostic imaging technique that captures detailed, high-resolution images of the retinal blood vessels without the need for dye injections, unlike traditional angiography methods. By using the principle of light reflection, OCT angiography generates cross-sectional images of the retina, allowing us to visualize blood flow patterns in the eye's microcirculation.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): "Think of it as an MRI for your eyes." This technology allows us to capture high-resolution images of your retina, helping us identify early signs of disease like macular degeneration before they become more severe.
• Fluorescein Angiography (FFA): "It's like a GPS for your eye's blood vessels." This test uses a special dye to highlight the blood vessels in the retina, enabling us to identify blockages or leaks that could affect vision.
• B-scan Ultrasonography: B-scan ultrasonography is a non-invasive, highly effective tool used to assess the interior structures of the eye when traditional methods like direct visualization are not possible, often due to media opacities like cataracts or vitreous hemorrhage.
• Specialized Retina Surgery Room: Our eye surgery theatre is equipped with the latest retinal surgery equipment to ensure the most precise and safe procedures, even for delicate retina conditions.
