The retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye and is essential to vision. Diseases and conditions that impact the retina can be mild or sight-threatening if untreated. Dr Birendra Jha is a retina specialist in Indore providing comprehensive assessment and vitrectomy surgery to patients with complex retinal conditions requiring surgery at Niramay Indore India Eye Care.

What does vitrectomy mean?

Vitrectomy is surgery that carefully removes the vitreous, the clear, jelly-like substance that fills the middle of the eye, and replaces it with a clear saline solution, gas or oil depending on the condition being treated. With this technique the eye surgeon is able to directly visualize the retina to repair or treat various retinal conditions that cannot be managed with medication or laser alone.

The most frequent indications for vitrectomy are retinal detachment, non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage, complex diabetic eye disease and macular hole where returning to the normal anatomy of the eye is essential to preserve or improve vision.

Vitrectomy Required Conditions

Our retina treatment in Indore clinic is routinely referred to for patients for:

• Retinal detachment

• Surgical management of severe intraocular infections

Indicators of Retinal Diseases

If you see: Immediately see a retina specialist in Indore

• Sudden onset of floaters
• Seeing flashes of light in your vision
• Shadow like a curtain passing across the vision
• Sudden or gradual blurred vision, central or peripheral
• Blurred vision, as if straight lines are distorted
• Sudden loss of vision in one eye.

RETINAL DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION

A complete retinal assessment requires dilated fundus examination, OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) to thoroughly evaluate the retinal layers, fundus fluorescein angiography to assess retinal blood flow as needed, and B-scan ultrasound when the view of the retina is obscured. These tests determine the degree of the problem and the most appropriate surgical approach.

Treatment Choices

Treatment may include, depending on the retinal condition:

• Surgical vitrectomy, tailored to the retinal pathology
• Laser photocoagulation for specific retinal conditions
• Intravitreal injections in appropriate cases e.g. diabetic macular edema
• Cataract surgery combined with vitrectomy, if both are present
• Continuous surveillance of chronic retinal diseases like diabetic retinopathy
