Dr. Supriya Dabir is a vitreoretinal surgeon at Maxivision Eye Hospitals, TTK Road, Chennai. Her speciality focuses on the evaluation and management of retinal and vitreous conditions that can affect vision. Vitreoretinal care involves assessing diseases affecting the retina, macula, and vitreous and determining appropriate treatment based on each patient’s clinical condition.
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Supriya Dabir’s vitreoretinal speciality encompasses the evaluation and management of retinal conditions, including:
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Retinal detachment and retinal tears
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Diabetic macular edema and other macular disorders
- Epiretinal membrane
- Macular hole
- Retinal vein occlusion
- Selected inherited retinal disorders, including retinitis pigmentosa
The appropriate management approach depends on the diagnosis, disease severity, examination findings, and individual patient needs.
Vitreoretinal Treatments and Procedures
Depending on the clinical diagnosis and indications, vitreoretinal treatment options may include:
- Pars plana vitrectomy: Surgery for selected retinal and vitreous disorders, including certain retinal detachments and macular holes.
- Retinal detachment repair: Procedures such as vitrectomy, scleral buckling, or pneumatic retinopexy, depending on the type of detachment.
- Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections: Treatment for selected retinal vascular conditions and macular disorders.
- Laser photocoagulation: A treatment used for certain retinal conditions, including selected cases of diabetic retinopathy and retinal breaks.
- Epiretinal membrane peeling: Surgery that may be considered when a membrane affects vision.
- Macular hole surgery: A procedure considered for selected macular holes based on their characteristics and clinical findings.
Not every retinal condition requires surgery. Treatment recommendations should follow an appropriate ophthalmic examination.
Retinal Diagnostic Investigations
Retinal evaluation may involve a dilated retinal examination and diagnostic investigations selected according to the patient’s symptoms and clinical findings.
These investigations may include:
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT): Provides detailed images of the retina and macula.
- Ocular ultrasonography: Helps assess internal eye structures when the retina cannot be clearly visualized.
- Fluorescein angiography: Evaluates retinal blood flow and vascular abnormalities when indicated.
The choice of investigation depends on the suspected condition and the information required for treatment planning.
Individualized Retinal Care
Retinal diseases can affect vision in different ways. Management depends on the underlying condition, retinal findings, visual symptoms, medical history, and potential benefits and risks of available treatments.
Depending on the diagnosis, care may involve monitoring, intravitreal injections, laser treatment, or surgery. Regular follow-up helps assess disease progression and treatment response.
Patients with diabetes and other risk factors for retinal disease should follow the recommended eye examination schedule. Early detection and appropriate treatment can help manage retinal disease and reduce the risk of vision loss.
When to Seek Urgent Retinal Care
Sudden flashes of light, a sudden increase in floaters, a curtain-like shadow across the field of vision, or sudden vision loss may indicate a serious retinal condition. These symptoms require immediate eye assessment. Do not delay care while waiting for a routine appointment.
