Description

Retina services are specialized ophthalmology care focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases affecting the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. These services include both medical treatments (e.g., injections, laser therapy) and surgical interventions (e.g., vitrectomy) for conditions like retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Key Aspects of Retina Services: Diagnostic Tools: Services include advanced imaging such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinal scans to evaluate the macula, retina, and optic nerve. Medical Retina: Focuses on treating retinal diseases with non-surgical methods like anti-VEGF injections for macular edema or laser therapy for diabetic retinopathy. Surgical Retina (Vitreoretinal): Involves complex surgery to repair retinal detachments, tears, macular holes, or severe trauma, often including vitrectomy—the removal of the eye's gel-like vitreous.
