Retinal Surgery Programme
Overview
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 surgery involves intricate procedures to repair retinal tears, detachments, and other conditions that can impair vision.
Our experienced team of ophthalmologists, surgeons, 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:
Retinal detachment: A serious condition in which the retina – the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye – separates from its underlying layer. This often requires urgent surgical intervention.
Diabetic retinopathy: A complication of diabetes that damages the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems and potential blindness. Treatment involves a combination of medical, surgical, and multidisciplinary approaches.
Macular hole: A small break in the macula – the central part of the retina – that causes blurred or distorted central vision.
Epiretinal membrane: A thin layer of scar tissue that forms on the retina, often causing vision distortion
Macular degeneration: A progressive eye disease that affects the central retina, leading to blurred vision and, in advanced cases, significant visual impairment.
Retinal trauma: Damage to the retina caused by injury, which can lead to retinal tears, detachment, vitreous haemorrhage, or the presence of an intraocular foreign body. Specialised retinal surgery is often required.
Retinal and choroidal tumours: These include choroidal melanoma, hemangiomas, retinoblastoma, and metastatic lesions. Management requires a multidisciplinary evaluation and tailored treatment plan.
