Our retina unit is one of the most advanced in Thane district, staffed with highly trained retina surgeons and supported by modern infrastructure.
Our Retina Department Includes:
Diabetic retinopathy is a health condition that occurs in diabetic people as a result of damage to the retina’s blood vessels. Diabetic retinopathy can develop if a person has type 1 or 2 diabetes and a long history of uncontrolled high blood sugar levels.
Stages of Diabetic Retinopathy
Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy
• seeing floaters or dark spots
• objects appear bent or slanting (metamorphosis)
• blurred vision
• sudden loss of vision
• difficulty distinguishing colors
Diagnosis and treatment of DR:
A doctor can diagnose diabetic retinopathy by doing a dilated eye exam. They may also perform a fluorescein angiography test, Optical coherence tomography (OCT) exam. Early diagnosis and periodic follow-ups are key to this condition.
At AEH, Thane, retina specialists screen all the diabetic patients, which includes DFE & various scans & provide the treatment as earlier as possible.
ARMD or AMD is caused by deterioration of the central part of the retina. The condition often does not have any symptoms, to begin with, but with progression, it may cause severe visual impairment, even complete blindness( in some cases).
Dry Macular Degeneration vs. Wet Macular Degeneration
In Dry Macular Degeneration, yellow deposit is deposited at the macula which cause impairment in vision with growth in size or increase in number.
On the other hand, in Wet Macular Degeneration, leaky abnormal blood vessels and fluid into the retina. This results in loss of central vision.
Those highest at risk for age-related macular degeneration are over the age of 55, smokers, or those with a family history of AMD.
The loss of central vision in AMD can interfere with simple everyday activities, such as the ability to see faces, drive, read, write, or do close work, such as cooking or fixing things around the house.
There are ways to slow its effects. It is possible to lower the risk of AMD or slow its progression by eating healthy, exercising, and protecting your eyes from ultraviolet light.
If you are above 50 years of age & experience any difficulties in central vision, you can visit AEH, Thane where retina specialist will not only help with the diagnosis & but also help you to lower the progression of AMD through various techniques like intravitreal antiVEGFs.
When a baby is born more than two months prematurely, there is an increased chance they will be born with a condition known as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which is characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the fetal retina.
Over time, the effects of ROP may lead to:
When babies are born prematurely, they are sent to the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU (NICU), where they undergo testing to quantify their overall health. This usually includes an eye exam to determine if there are any vision issues or retinal problems. The ophthalmologist will put eye drops in the baby’s eye to dilate the pupil to get a better look at the retina and vitreous.
The most common treatment for advanced ROP is laser therapy. In more recent years, some doctors have started to use anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections to disrupt the growth of abnormal blood vessels
If you have a baby in your family who is born prematurely or was admitted in NICU after birth, get him checked by the team of retina specialist at AEH, Thane. The doctors do complete eye exam & may also use digital imaging to capture images of the retina.
The light sensitive tissue lining the back of the eyes is known as Retina. When the tissue around the retina gets separated from it, a serious eye condition called Retinal Detachment develops.
Rhegmatogenous - The type of Retinal detachment caused by a tear or hole in the retina is called Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment
Tractional - Commonly occurring in patients with diabetes or other such conditions, Tractional Retinal Detachment is caused by the development of scar tissues on the retinal surface.
Exudative - This type of Retinal Detachment occurs because of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), inflammatory disorders, injuries to the eye, or tumors in the eye.
Retinal Detachment are usually painless when one occurs, it does have some symptoms that precede it, such as floaters photopsia blurred vision peripheral vision is reduced curtain-like shadow
Retinal tears or holes usually require a Laser. If it is not detected early, then Retinal detachments may require surgery. Another treatment method goes by the name Scleral buckle which involves surgically sewing a silicone a scleral buckle or flexible band is placed around the equator.
If you experience any symptoms that may mimic RD, or you have family history of RD, you can book an appointment with the retina specialist at AEH hospital, Thane.
A vitreous hemorrhage is the presence of blood within the eye cavity that is filled with vitreous humor.
Vitreous hemorrhages may be due to: An eye injury, Traction of a retinal vessel, Vascular causes, diabetic retinopathy, eye tumors.
The main symptom in a patient suffering a vitreous hemorrhage is a sudden loss of vision. The treatment for vitreous hemorrhage depends on the hemorrhage cause and degree of severity.
As the name suggests, fluid filled cyst-like spaces occur at the central retina called the macula and cause its swelling. The exact etiology is unknown, but some diseases cause CME like: Intraocular inflammation ARMD Diabetic retinopathy retinal vein occlusion, etc.
The patient may present
CME management includes
Our Retina Department Includes:
Used to deliver targeted medications directly into the eye to manage:
Ophthalmic operating microscopes are built to provide high contrast and detailed imaging of the human eye in its entirety.
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) is commonly used to diagnose and monitor conditions affecting the retina, such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and other vascular disorders.
In ophthalmology, a green laser is often used for treatments like laser photocoagulation. This involves using a focused beam of green light to precisely target and seal blood vessels in the retina.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light waves to create detailed cross-sectional images of the tissues inside your body.
