Retina Services at i Care Center, Delhi

At i Care Center, Delhi, we offer comprehensive retina services to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of retinal conditions. Our specialized team of ophthalmologists is equipped with advanced technology and extensive expertise to provide both medical and surgical solutions for retinal diseases. Our goal is to preserve and restore vision while ensuring the highest standard of patient care. Below are the primary sub-services offered within our retina department:

Diabetic Retinopathy Screening and Treatment

Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent vision loss. At i Care Center, we provide thorough screening and various treatment options for diabetic retinopathy:

1. Screening:

  • Regular screening is essential for individuals with diabetes to detect diabetic retinopathy early. Our screening process includes a comprehensive eye examination, fundus photography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess the retina’s health and identify any signs of damage.

2. Treatment:

  • Laser Photocoagulation: This treatment uses laser energy to seal or destroy leaking blood vessels in the retina. It helps to reduce swelling and prevent further vision loss.
  • Intravitreal Injections: Medications such as anti-VEGF agents (e.g., Avastin) are injected directly into the eye to reduce swelling, inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth, and improve vision.
  • Vitrectomy: In advanced cases, vitrectomy surgery may be required to remove blood and scar tissue from the vitreous gel inside the eye.

Avastin Injections

Avastin (bevacizumab) is an anti-VEGF medication widely used to treat various retinal conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and retinal vein occlusions. At i Care Center, we offer Avastin injections as part of our comprehensive retina care services:

1. Procedure:

  • The injection is administered under sterile conditions to minimize the risk of infection. Local anesthesia is used to numb the eye, ensuring patient comfort during the procedure. The medication is injected into the vitreous cavity, where it works to inhibit the growth of abnormal blood vessels and reduce retinal swelling.

2. Follow-Up:

  • Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor the eye’s response to the treatment and determine if additional injections are needed. Our team provides personalized care to ensure optimal outcomes.

Laser Treatments

Laser therapy is a critical tool in the management of various retinal conditions. At i Care Center, we use advanced laser technology to treat retinal diseases effectively:

1. Laser Photocoagulation:

  • This procedure involves using a laser to create small burns on the retina, which helps to seal leaking blood vessels, reduce swelling, and prevent the growth of abnormal blood vessels. It is commonly used to treat diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions.

2. Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP):

  • PRP is a type of laser treatment used for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. It involves applying laser burns to the peripheral retina to reduce the retina’s oxygen demand and decrease the stimulus for abnormal blood vessel growth.

3. Focal/Grid Laser:

  • This technique targets specific areas of leakage and swelling in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. It is often used in cases of macular edema secondary to diabetic retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion.

Retinal Surgeries

For more complex retinal conditions that cannot be managed with medications or laser treatments, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our retinal surgeons at i Care Center are skilled in performing a range of advanced retinal surgeries:

1. Vitrectomy:

  • Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the vitreous gel from the eye to treat various retinal disorders. It is used to remove vitreous hemorrhage, repair retinal detachments, and address complications from diabetic retinopathy.

2. Scleral Buckling:

  • This surgery is used to repair retinal detachments. A silicone band (scleral buckle) is placed around the eye to gently press the wall of the eye against the detached retina, helping it reattach.

3. Pneumatic Retinopexy:

  • This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting a gas bubble into the vitreous cavity to push the detached retina back into place. The bubble holds the retina against the eye wall while it heals.

4. Macular Hole Surgery:

  • A macular hole can cause significant vision loss. This surgery involves a vitrectomy to remove any traction causing the hole, followed by the placement of a gas bubble to facilitate the hole’s closure.
