Retina & Vitreous

FACILITIES
Retinal diseases vary widely - some are common and easily remedied, while others are rare, more difficult to diagnose and require more complex treatment. People with retinal diseases experience an array of symptoms, from specks floating in their vision to blurred or lost vision. The most common diseases handled in the clinic are diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal detachments or tears, macular holes, retinopathy of prematurity and retinitis pigmentosa. Jyothis retina services are recognized as centres of excellence in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. A separate Pediatric Retina Clinic is established at Jyothis which is exclusively involved in treatment of paediatric retinal disorders like Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), Retinoblastoma, Familial Exudative Vitreo Retinopathy (FEVR), Coats disease, etc.
DIAGNOSTICS FACILITIES AVAILABLE IN THE CLINIC
Fluorescein Angiography
This is a magnified photography of the retina using an injectable dye. It helps in confirming diagnosis, to decide on the mode of treatment and evaluate the treatment given.
Optical Coherence Tomography
OCT is used to image the retinal layers. It uses light waves to produce images of the retina, much like sound waves in USG. OCT has opened a new frontier in management of macular diseases.
TREATMENTS
Laser
Lasers are widely used in treating diabetic retinopathy. Lasers are formed by an intense and highly energetic beam of light. They can slow down or stop the progression of diabetic retinopathy and stabilise vision. The clinic is equipped with multiple lasers with slit lamp delivery and indirect ophthalmoscope delivery systems. Both double frequency YAG and diode laser are available for treatment of diabetic retinopathy, retinal holes , tumors, Retinopathy of Prematurity, retinal vascular diseases etc.
