Retina Treatments

What are Retinal Treatments?

Retinal treatments are various methods used to treat retinal diseases. These include injections, laser therapy and surgical interventions; their aim is to maintain retinal health and prevent vision loss.

Vitrectomy Surgery

Vitrectomy Surgery is a surgical operation applied for diseases occurring in the back of the eye. Bleeding may occur in the eye for a number of reasons. At the same time, membrane formation may occur in the eye due to diabetes. Vitrectomy surgery is needed both to clear the blood from the eye and to peel the membranes formed in the eye.

MACROvision Surgery

MACROvision is an intraocular optical implant used in retinal diseases that impair central vision, such as macular degeneration. It magnifies the image and directs it to the healthy part of the macula; it does not treat the underlying disease, but helps the patient make better use of the vision that remains.

Macula Degeneration Treatment

Macula Degeneration is characterised by damage to the central area of the retina. This condition affects central vision and usually occurs with age. The disease is divided into two types: dry type and wet type. The dry type is caused by the deterioration of cells in the macular layer, while the wet type is characterised by the formation of new, abnormal vessels, which can lead to leakage and loss of vision.

Retinal Diseases

Eye health is an important part of general health and retinal diseases are serious conditions that threaten eye health. The retina is a sensitive tissue located at the back of the eye that detects light and transmits the image to the brain. Retinal diseases can cause vision loss by impairing the function of this critical tissue. Early diagnosis and effective treatment play an important role in the management of retinal diseases.

Retinal Detachment

Retinal detachment, an eye problem that seriously threatens vision, is the separation of the retinal nerve layer from the pigment epithelium layer underneath. It usually develops when fluid leaks between these two layers following a tear or hole in the retina. This separation is similar to the separation of a damp wallpaper from the wall.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy is a complication that occurs in diabetic patients and affects the retina, the light sensitive layer at the back of the eye. High blood sugar levels can damage the capillaries in the retina, leading to vision problems and blindness in progressive cases.

Retinopathy of Prematurity

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disease that occurs in premature and low birth weight babies with abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue layer behind the eye.
