The retina is the delicate, light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye responsible for capturing the images you see. At Ifrah Eye Hospital, our Medical Retina department specializes in diagnosing and managing conditions that affect the retina, macula, and vitreous. We utilize advanced, non-surgical treatments to protect and preserve your vision.
Retinal Conditions We Treat
We provide comprehensive eye care for patients across eastern Nepal dealing with vascular, inflammatory, and age-related retinal diseases:
-
Diabetic Retinopathy: Diabetes can severely damage the blood vessels in your eyes. We offer careful monitoring and immediate intervention for diabetic macular edema (DME) to prevent irreversible vision loss.
-
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): Specialized management for both “dry” and “wet” AMD to safeguard your central, detail-oriented vision.
-
Retinal Vascular Occlusions: Rapid diagnosis and emergency treatment for blockages in the retinal veins or arteries.
-
Macular Edema: Effective management of fluid build-up in the center of the retina.
-
Retinal Inflammations & Infections: Targeted medical therapy for conditions such as posterior uveitis.
Advanced Retinal Diagnostics
Accurate treatment begins with precise imaging. Our facility utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to detect cellular-level changes before they impact your daily life:
-
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): High-resolution, cross-sectional scans that map the microscopic layers of the retina and macula.
-
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA): Specialized contrast imaging to map eye circulation and pinpoint leaks or blocked vessels.
-
B-Scan Ultrasonography: Sound-wave imaging used when cataracts or hemorrhages prevent standard optical views of the retina.
Non-Surgical Retina Treatments
Depending on your specific diagnosis, our retinal specialists offer highly effective, minimally invasive treatments performed directly in our clinic:
-
Intravitreal Injections: Targeted delivery of specialized medications (such as Anti-VEGF) to reduce swelling, stop abnormal blood vessel growth, and stabilize vision in conditions like wet AMD.
-
Retinal Laser Therapy: Precision laser application to seal leaking blood vessels or treat areas of poor circulation, protecting the surrounding healthy retinal tissue.
Protect Your Vision Today Early detection is the most effective defense against permanent retinal damage. If you have diabetes, a family history of retinal conditions, or are experiencing sudden blurred vision, do not wait.
