Department of Retina & Vitreous

The clinics are well equipped with trained doctors and modern technology to diagnose and treat a multitude of vitreo retinal conditions. Treatment includes both medical and surgical interventions.

State-of-the-art equipment for investigation and diagnosis of various Vitreo retinal diseases include:

    • Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) and Indocynanine Green Angiography (ICGA)
    • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
    • Ultrasonography
    • Ultrasound Bio Microscopy (UBM)
    • Electroretinogram (ERG)including Multifocal (mfERG), Visual Evoked Potential (VEP), Electro Oculo Graphy (EOG)

The Vitreo-Retina clinics offer medical management for various retinal conditions like Diabetic Retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion (CRVO & BRVO), Arterial occlusion (CRAO), Central serous retinopathy (CSR), Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) etc., The clinics are equipped with retinal lasers (Green laser – Double frequency YAG) with slit lamp and indirect ophthalmoscopy delivery for treatment of these retinal conditions. In addition, various intravitreal injections of Anti-VEGF drugs and steroids are used to treat macular edema as well as choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM). Specialised lasers like trans pupillary thermotherapy (TTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are also available.

The Vitreo-Retina clinics offer electrodiagnosis with genetic analysis support for retinal degenerations, along with guidance and referral for rehabilitation centres.

The Vitreo-Retina clinics are involved in screening for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) at base clinics as well as NICUs in other hospitals. Various paediatric retinal conditions like FEVR, PFV, tumors etc are also treated regulalry.

The Vitreo-Retina clinics have operating theatres equipped with state-of-the-art vitrectomy machines, lasers and microscopes with posterior visualisation systems. Complex vitreo-retinal surgeries for repair of retinal detachment, diabetic tractional detachment, vitreous haemorrhage, macular holes and epiretinal membranes are routinely performed. Surgeries to manage intra-ocular foreign bodies and treatment of endophthalmitis are also routinely done.
