Retinal
Treatments
Retinal treatments refer to a range of medical and surgical interventions aimed at addressing various conditions and diseases affecting the retina, the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye responsible for sensing light and sending visual signals to the brain. Common retinal conditions include retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal tears.
What are Retinal Treatments?
At our clinic, we specialize in advanced treatments for diabetic retinopathy, a serious complication of diabetes that affects the retina and can lead to vision loss if left untreated. We offer state-of-the-art laser therapy and injections designed to manage and mitigate the effects of this condition effectively.
​
At our clinic, we understand that managing diabetic retinopathy involves more than just treatments. Our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care, including regular monitoring and personalized management plans. We emphasize the importance of diabetes control and lifestyle modifications to help prevent the progression of retinal disease.

By choosing our clinic for your diabetic retinopathy treatment, you will benefit from our expertise and commitment to preserving your vision. We invite you to schedule a consultation with our specialists to discuss your condition and explore the best treatment options available for your individual needs.
Treatments:
Laser
Our laser treatments are performed using cutting-edge technology to ensure precision and safety. Laser photocoagulation is utilized to create controlled burns on the retina, helping to seal off leaking blood vessels and reduce swelling. This procedure can stabilize vision and prevent further progression of diabetic retinopathy. We also offer panretinal photocoagulation, which treats a larger area of the retina to help reduce the risk of severe vision loss caused by proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Injection
In addition to laser therapy, we provide anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) injections, which are crucial for treating diabetic macular edema—a common condition associated with diabetic retinopathy. These injections work by blocking the action of VEGF, thereby reducing the growth of abnormal blood vessels and alleviating swelling in the retina. We ensure that the injection process is comfortable and efficient, with minimal downtime for our patients.
Common FAQs
What conditions are treated with retinal treatments?
Retinal treatments address various conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal detachment, retinal tears, and macular edema.
​
What can I expect during a retinal treatment procedure?
The experience during a retinal treatment can vary depending on the specific procedure. For laser treatments, patients typically receive local anesthesia or numbing drops. The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and usually takes less than an hour. Injections are quick and may also involve numbing drops
Are there any risks or side effects associated with retinal treatments?
While retinal treatments are generally safe, they can carry some risks and potential side effects. These may include temporary discomfort, changes in vision, bleeding, infection, or retinal detachment in rare cases. It’s important for patients to discuss these risks with their eye care professional to make informed decisions about their treatment options.
