Retina

RETINA

Retina services focus on diagnosing, managing, and treating delicate tissues at the back of the eye. Highly trained retina specialists handle conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and macular holes. 
These services are broadly broken down into two core areas:

Advanced Diagnostics

  • To get a precise look at the retina, specialists utilize sophisticated non-invasive imaging technologies:
    • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the retinal layers. 
    • Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA): Uses a contrast dye to document blood flow and detect leaking blood vessels. 
    • Ultra-Widefield Imaging (e.g., Optos): Captures high-definition views of the entire retina to screen for early tears or damage

Treatment & Surgery

When a condition is detected, treatment can range from in-office procedures to complex surgeries:
  • Intravitreal Injections: Medication injected directly into the eye to stop abnormal blood vessel growth or reduce swelling (e.g., Anti-VEGF agents). 
  • Retinal Laser Therapy: Uses focused light beams to seal leaking blood vessels, reduce swelling, or repair small retinal tears. 
  • Vitrectomy: A surgical procedure where the gel-like vitreous fluid is removed from the eye to treat retinal detachments, severe diabetic eye disease, or remove scar tissue.

FAQ

Kolkata has retina specialists who diagnose and treat conditions like diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and retinal detachment using advanced imaging such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA). Look for a hospital with dedicated retina specialists, modern diagnostic equipment, and experience handling complex retinal conditions.

Several eye hospitals in Kolkata now offer the full range of retina treatments — from in-office intravitreal (anti-VEGF) injections and retinal laser therapy to surgical procedures like vitrectomy for retinal detachment and diabetic eye disease. This means patients in and around Kolkata, including areas like Birati, don't need to travel outside the city for advanced retina care.

Retina treatment costs in Kolkata vary depending on the condition and procedure — a single intravitreal injection typically costs less than a surgical procedure like vitrectomy. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to book a consultation with a retina specialist who can assess your condition using OCT/FFA imaging and recommend the right treatment plan.
