Medical and Surgical Retina :

- Diabetic and Hypertensive Eye Disease Treatment

Diabetes is the most common cause of vision loss in the working age population in the developed world. A wide variety of problems occur in diabetes that need different types of treatment. This may require laser to the retina to stop blood vessels growing, injections into the eye to stop blood vessels leaking, or surgery to remove scar tissue or fix retinal detachments.

- Retinal Detachment

Although not common the effects of retinal detachment can be devastating. Treatment will vary depending on the extent and type of retinal detachment. This may include just laser treatment, injecting a bubble of gas into the eye, placing a buckle around the eye or removing the vitreous jelly and undertaking a major retinal reconstruction.

- Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss. It's also called age-related macular degeneration. Your macula is part of your retina -- the area in the back of your eye that turns images into signals that go to your brain. It lets you see small details clearly.
