Retina Care

Retina care

Retina care involves the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and conditions that affect the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye responsible for converting light into neural signals that the brain interprets as vision. Retina care is essential for maintaining vision and preventing blindness, as many retinal diseases can lead to significant vision loss if not properly managed.

Retina Care Treatment

Retina care treatment encompasses a variety of medical and surgical interventions designed to address diseases and conditions affecting the retina. The specific treatment plan depends on the particular retinal condition, its severity, and the patient's overall health.

Treatment Options

  • Medications:
    • Anti-VEGF Injections: Used to treat conditions like diabetic retinopathy and wet AMD by reducing abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage.
    • Steroid Injections: To reduce inflammation and swelling in the retina.
  • Laser Therapy:
    • Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP): Treats proliferative diabetic retinopathy by shrinking abnormal blood vessels.
    • Focal/Grid Laser Treatment: For macular edema.
  • Surgery:
    • Vitrectomy: Removal of the vitreous gel to treat conditions like retinal detachment, macular hole, and epiretinal membrane.
    • Scleral Buckling: A procedure to repair retinal detachment by indenting the wall of the eye.
    • Pneumatic Retinopexy: A less invasive procedure for retinal detachment involving a gas bubble to reattach the retina.
  • Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): Combines laser treatment with a photosensitizing drug to treat abnormal blood vessels in conditions like AMD.
