Comprehensive care from advanced diagnostics and laser therapy to complex vitreoretinal surgery

Our Retina Center delivers world-class care for diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and other retinal conditions. We provide end-to-end services—specialist evaluation, tailored treatment, and structured follow-up—so you can regain clear, comfortable vision.

Why Choose Us

• Subspecialty retina/vitreous surgeons with extensive experience

• Full-spectrum services: diagnostics → intravitreal pharmacotherapy → retinal laser → vitrectomy

• Continuity of care with individualized follow-up and patient education

 

Services & Treatments

1) Diabetic Retinopathy Management

Overview: High blood glucose damages retinal microvasculature, potentially leading to severe vision loss if untreated. Treatment depends on stage and severity.

1.1 Intravitreal Injections

• Agents (as clinically appropriate): Faricimab-svoa (Vabysmo), Ranibizumab (Lucentis), Aflibercept (Eylea), Bevacizumab (Avastin)

• Goal: Suppress VEGF to reduce vascular leakage/neovascularization and macular edema

• Schedule: Often loading doses (e.g., monthly initially) then tailored by the retina specialist

1.2 Retinal Laser Therapy

• Focal/Grid Laser:

  • Process: Seal leaking microaneurysms; reduce macular edema

  • Pros: Outpatient, quick, minimal downtime

  • Limitations: Best for selected non-proliferative stages; repeat sessions may be needed

• Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP):

  • Process: Peripheral laser to regress pathologic neovascularization and prevent complications (vitreous hemorrhage, tractional RD)

  • Pros: Reduces risk of severe vision loss

  • Trade-offs: Possible reduced peripheral/night vision in some patients

Preparation & Aftercare

• Before: Pupil dilation; topical anesthesia as needed

• During: Brief flashes of light are expected

• After: Temporary blur/photopsia may occur and resolves within hours

• Advice: Avoid driving/precision tasks for 24 hours; wear sunglasses outdoors; seek care urgently for pain, redness, or sudden vision drop

Note: Laser is one component of a holistic plan—systemic control of glucose and blood pressure and regular eye exams remain essential.

2) Vitrectomy (Vitreoretinal Surgery)

Common Indications

• Non-clearing/recurrent vitreous hemorrhage

• Retinal detachment (especially tractional)

• Epiretinal membrane/traction at the macula

Care Pathway

• Pre-op: Comprehensive assessment (ocular, labs, systemic), risk/benefit discussion; local anesthesia or sedation per case

• Intra-op: Small sclerotomies; remove opacified vitreous/blood; peel membranes; gas or silicone oil tamponade when indicated

• Post-op: Typically 1–2 days inpatient observation; strict adherence to drops, systemic control, and scheduled follow-ups

Techniques

• Pars Plana Vitrectomy (standard 3-port)

• Microincision Vitrectomy (<0.5 mm ports) for reduced tissue trauma and potentially faster recovery when appropriate

Risks/Considerations

• Endophthalmitis, IOP elevation, cataract progression, among others—surgical decisions balance potential benefits against risks in shared decision-making.

 

Red-Flag Symptoms (Seek Care Urgently)

• New flashes/floaters with a curtain-like shadow

• Rapid distortion or drop in vision

• Pain, redness, or vision loss after treatment

Self-Care & Follow-Up

• Adhere strictly to prescribed eye drops/medications

• Optimize systemic control (glucose, BP, lipids)

• Keep all scheduled visits—even if symptoms improve

Our Retina Center offers comprehensive care for retinal conditions, including diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Services include advanced diagnostics, intravitreal injections, retinal laser therapies, and vitrectomy, providing tailored treatments and structured follow-up for optimal vision recovery.
