Retina is the light-sensitive sets or layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye that receive images and transmits them as electric signals through the optic nerve to the brain.
Our retina can get damaged due to various reasons which includes age factor. A damaged retina leads to severe visual distortions and disturbances. If left untreated it could lead to permanent damages to eyes, including complete blindness.

Symptoms
Most of the time, we ignore eye related problems. You should consider consulting a specialist if you are experiencing one or more of the following:
- Sudden loss of Vision
- Distortion in Vision
- Black spots in visual fields
- Blurring in vision
- Flashes of light
- Premature babies (with paediatrician advise)
- All Diabetic & Hypertension patients
Facilities available
- Fundus photography
- Green lasers
- OCT
- Fundus Angiography
- Intra-vitreal injections
- Retina Surgeries
- Ultrasound B-Scan
- ROP Screening
A damaged retina, the complications and the end result may sound scary. Having said that, we use high-tech machines, experienced doctors and technical staff to get to the root cause and get a tailor-made treatment plan for you, in a matter of minutes.

Retina conditions
Diabetic Retinopathy
High levels of blood sugar damages and block the tiny blood vessels in the retina. To compensate for the loss of blood supply, the eye develops new vessels. Malfunctioning of the new vessels cause leakage of blood leading to vision problems. If you have diabetes, it’s important to get a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year.
Vascular Occlusions (CRVO/BRVO)
Vascular occlusion is usually with a clot. It differs from thrombosis and is a form of blockage, not just one formed by a clot. The condition is also relatively common in the retina, and can cause partial or total loss of vision. An occlusion can often be diagnosed using Ultrasound.
Uveitis
Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea, the pigmented layer that lies between the inner retina and the outer fibrous layer composed of the sclera and cornea. The uvea consists of the middle layer of pigmented vascular structures of the eye and includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid.
Age related macular degeneration
Macular degeneration is a progressive vision impairment resulting from deterioration of the central part of retina, known as macula. The symptoms include vision loss, blurred vision, and changes in colour perception. There is no permanent cure for macular degeneration. Treatments aim at slowing down the progression of disease.
Retinopathy of Prematurity
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) or Terry syndrome. It is a disease affecting prematurely born babies generally having received neonatal intensive care, in which oxygen therapy is used due to the premature development of their lungs. It results in scarring and retinal detachment and may cause complete blindness.
Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment is an emergency situation in which a thin layer of tissue (the retina) at the back of the eye pulls away from the layer of blood vessels that provides it with oxygen and nutrients. Retinal detachment is often accompanied by flashes and floaters in your eye-sight.
Macular Hole
This situation occurs when nerve cells of the macula become separated from each other and pull away from the back surface of the eye, affecting eye-sight. It generally is the result of an injury or a medical condition that affects the eye, including being very near sighted
Macular Pucker
It is also known as Epiretinal membrane and is a disease of the eye because of changes in the vitreous humor or sometimes diabetes. It may also surface as a result of immune system response to protect the retina, cells converge in the macular area as the vitreous ages and pulls away in posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).
Vitreous Haemorrhage
A vitreous hemorrhage occurs when blood from ruptured blood vessels leaks into the vitreous humor, the clear gel-like fluid of the eyeball. You may suddenly see black spots or light flashes (photopsia), experience blurriness, cloudiness or loss of sight.
Vitreo-Macular Traction
Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome is a visual of the vitreoretinal interface characterized by an incomplete posterior vitreous detachment with the persistently adherent vitreous exerting tractional pull on the macula and resulting in morphologic alterations and consequent decline of visual function
