Zamindar Microsurgical Eye Centre provides comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for retinal conditions using state-of-the-art technology and a patient-first approach. Our retina department is equipped to manage a wide range of retinal diseases, helping you preserve and protect your vision.

About the Retina

The retina is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye. It contains millions of light-sensitive cells (rods and cones) that receive and organize visual information. The retina’s main role is to convert light into neural signals and transmit them to the brain via the optic nerve — enabling us to see.

Common Retinal Conditions We Treat

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye disease caused by uncontrolled diabetes, where high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive part at the back of your eye). If not detected early, it can lead to serious vision loss and even blindness.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

A leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people above 50 years. The macula is responsible for central, high-resolution vision needed for reading, driving, and facial recognition.

There are two types:

Retinal Vein Occlusion

Occurs when the vein draining blood from the retina becomes blocked, causing bleeding and fluid leakage.

Macular Edema

Swelling at the macula due to fluid accumulation, leading to blurred and distorted central vision. Causes include:

Central Serous Retinopathy

A buildup of fluid beneath the central retina. It can cause visual distortion or a central dark spot. While the exact cause is unclear, it’s often linked to stress, and tends to affect men more frequently.

Hypertensive Retinopathy

Chronic high blood pressure can damage retinal blood vessels, leading to leakage, swelling, and vision loss.

Macular Hole

A small defect in the macula — usually caused by vitreous pulling away from the retina or eye injury. This can affect central vision and may require surgery if it progresses.

Retinal Detachment

A medical emergency where the retina separates from the back of the eye. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.

Symptoms of Retinal Disease

Watch out for these signs:

Seeing floating specks or cobwebs
Flashes of light
A dark spot in central vision
Distorted or wavy straight lines
Blurred vision
Peripheral vision loss

Risk Factors

Diabetes
High blood pressure
Ageing
Smoking
Obesity
Eye injuries
Family history of retinal disease
Stress

When Should You See a Retina Specialist?

Early detection is critical. Seek immediate care if you notice:

These could indicate retinal detachment or vitreous hemorrhage.

Importance of Routine Eye Exams

Many retinal diseases are silent in early stages. Routine eye exams allow for early detection and treatment — often before vision is affected.

Services at Our Retina Department

Fundus Photography

Our Digital Retinography System (DRS) captures high-resolution images of your retina. These images:

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – Primus 200

This non-invasive test uses light waves to create cross-sectional images of the retina, macula, and optic nerve. It helps in early detection of:

Retinal Treatments at Zamindar Microsurgical Eye Centre

Depending on your condition, our goal is to slow disease progression, preserve vision, or restore lost sight.

Retinal Laser Treatment

Used especially for diabetic retinopathy, laser treatment:

Intra-Vitreal Injections

A targeted treatment where medicine is injected directly into the eye to treat:

The procedure is quick, painless, and done in a sterile operation theatre.
