Retinal Disease Management Programme
The retina is a delicate layer of tissue at the back of the eye responsible for capturing light and transmitting visual information to the brain. Retinal diseases affect this delicate structure, potentially leading to vision impairment or even blindness.
Our experienced team of ophthalmologists and support staff utilises state-of-the-art technology and innovative techniques to diagnose and treat complex retinal conditions.
Conditions We Treat
Our programme specialises in addressing a variety of retinal disorders, including:
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): A leading cause of vision loss in older adults, affecting central vision.
- Diabetic retinopathy: Damage to retinal blood vessels caused by diabetes.
- Retinal vein occlusion: A blockage in the central or branch retinal vein, disrupting blood flow and causing vision loss.
- Retinal artery occlusion: A blockage in the central or branch retinal artery, leading to reduced blood supply and vision impairment.
- Retinal detachment: Separation of the retina from its supporting tissue, requiring urgent medical attention.
- Uveitis: Inflammation of the uveal tract, which may affect the retina. Symptoms include eye pain, redness, light sensitivity, blurred vision, and floaters.
- Inherited retinal diseases: Genetic conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa that affect vision.
