Your retina is the most important part of your eye for vision a delicate light-processing engine located at the back of the eye. When the retina is damaged by diabetes, age-related wear, detachment, or sudden bleeding, your vision can decline rapidly and sometimes permanently. At Nirmal’s Eye Hospital, our Vitreoretina Services offer advanced retinal screening, diagnostics, medical management, and microsurgical treatments designed to protect, restore, and preserve your sight.
The retina is responsible for converting light into signals that your brain interprets as vision. On Page 1 of your PDF, this is described as “the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye that acts like film in a camera.” When the retina is healthy, you see clearly; when damaged, you may notice blurred vision, floaters, flashes of light, distortions, or sudden vision loss.
Nirmal Eye Clinic treats a wide spectrum of vitreo-retinal disorders, including:
Diabetic retinopathy is a serious diabetes-related eye condition where damaged retinal blood vessels can progressively cause vision loss if untreated:
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from supporting tissues, requiring immediate treatment to protect vision and prevent permanent blindness:
Macular degeneration damages the central retina, gradually reducing sharp, detailed vision required for reading, driving, identifying faces, and performing tasks:
Choose the lens that matches your lifestyle and vision goals
Vitreo-retinal care at Nirmal Eye Clinic combines medical, laser, and surgical approaches for optimal patient outcomes.
Medical management includes anti-VEGF injections for retinal diseases, steroid injections to reduce swelling, and strict control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and lipids to prevent progression.
Laser treatments seal leaking vessels, reduce retinal swelling, prevent detachment, including panretinal photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy and focal laser therapy for macular edema management.
Vitreo-retinal surgery treats advanced eye conditions when medical or laser therapy is insufficient, including vitrectomy, scleral buckle, macular hole repair, and epiretinal membrane peeling for vision restoration.”
Intravitreal injections deliver medications directly into the eye, effectively treating conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and retinal vein occlusion for improved vision outcomes.”
Continuous evaluation with OCT, fundus photography, and advanced imaging techniques ensures accurate monitoring and effective management of retinal and vitreous diseases.
What to expect from consultation to recovery
The vitreo-retina care journey starts with a comprehensive eye examination, including visual acuity testing, refraction, slit-lamp evaluation, intraocular pressure check, and detailed fundus imaging for retinal assessment.
Accurate vitreo-retina diagnosis relies on advanced imaging, including OCT for retinal layers, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography for blood flow, and ultrasound B-scan for complex cases.
Post-treatment care involves prescribed eye drops, protective shields, activity restrictions, scheduled follow-ups at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months, plus monitoring visual recovery.
Long-term vitreo-retina care includes regular retinal check-ups, managing blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol, lifestyle guidance, eye protection, and patient education to detect new issues early.
Your recovery is just as important as the surgery itself
Day 1: Clarity begins, mild irritation is normal
Day 3-7: Vision stabilizes significantly
Week 2: Most activity restrictions are lifted
1 Month: Final visual outcome achieved, full recovery complete
We use cutting-edge technology for precise diagnosis and optimal surgical outcomes
OCT provides detailed, high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, enabling early detection and precise assessment of subtle retinal layer changes.
Fundus photography captures high-resolution images of the retina, helping document retinal health and monitor progression of various eye diseases effectively.
Fluorescein angiography is a dye-based test that highlights retinal blood vessels, allowing detection of leaks, blockages, or abnormal vascular growth.
B-scan ultrasound is essential for evaluating the vitreous and retina, especially when cataracts or other opacities prevent direct visualization.
OCT angiography provides non-invasive imaging of retinal blood vessels, enabling early detection and monitoring of diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration effectively.
Seek care if you notice sudden floaters, flashes, blurry vision, or visual distortion. Regular screenings are crucial for diabetic and aging patients.
Most vitreo-retinal procedures are safely performed under local or topical anesthesia, providing effective treatment while ensuring minimal discomfort for patients.
Recovery time varies by procedure, from a few days for minor surgeries to several weeks for complex vitrectomy treatments.
