About
The retina is a delicate layer of tissue at the back of your eye, responsible for capturing light and sending visual signals to your brain. It plays a vital role in how we perceive the world. When affected by conditions like diabetic or hypertensive retinopathy, even slight damage can lead to serious vision loss. Early detection and expert care are crucial to preserving and restoring sight.
Symptoms
-
Diabetic Retinopathy
A diabetes-related condition where high blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss if left untreated. -
Hypertensive Retinopathy
Caused by high blood pressure, this condition leads to damage in the retinal blood vessels, affecting visual clarity over time. -
Retinal Detachment
Occurs when the retina pulls away from its normal position, often causing sudden flashes, floaters or a shadow over the visual field. -
Macular Hole
A small break in the central part of the retina (macula) can cause blurred and distorted central vision. -
Macular Edema
Swelling or thickening of the macula due to fluid build-up, often leading to blurry or wavy central vision. -
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
A condition affecting premature babies where abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina, potentially leading to serious vision problems or blindness if untreated.

Faq’s?
If one eye is affected by diabetic retinopathy, will the other be automatically affected?
Diabetic retinopathy usually affects both eyes. Symptoms may appear in one eye only, but both eyes are usually affected, though not necessarily equally.
What is the prevention of hypertensive retinopathy?
Control of high blood pressure prevents changes in the eye’s blood vessels.
What are the Causes of hypertensive retinopathy?
High blood pressure can cause damage to blood vessels in the eyes. The higher the blood pressure and the longer it has been high, the more severe the damage is likely to be. Your doctor can see narrowing of blood vessels and excess fluid oozing from blood vessels, with an instrument called an ophthalmoscope. The degree of retina damage (retinopathy) is graded on a scale of I to IV. At grade I, no symptoms may be present. Grade IV hypertensive retinopathy includes swelling of the visual centre of the retina (macula). Such swelling can cause decreased vision.
What injuries typically cause retinal detachments?
Bottle rockets, BB guns, racquetball, tennis, golf, soccer, boxing, and diving injuries can lead to retinal detachment.
Do retinal detachments ever disappear without surgery?
Only if the detachment is due to a successfully treated medical condition, such as toxemia of pregnancy or rare forms of eye inflammation.
Can Lowering Blood Sugar Level Help With Diabetic Retinopathy?
When blood sugar levels are consistently high, the chances of diabetic retinopathy developing are high. That is why it is important to control your blood sugar levels to slow down diabetic retinopathy and prevent vision loss
Are macular holes hereditary?
Macular holes are typically not hereditary but are more common in older adults or those with certain eye conditions like myopia.
Who is at risk for developing macular holes?
Macular holes are more commonly found in people over the age of 60, and the risk increases with age. Other risk factors include being female, having a family history of macular holes, and having certain conditions such as nearsightedness, diabetic retinopathy, or a history of eye trauma or inflammation.
What causes macular edema?
Macular edema happens when blood vessels leak into a part of the retina called the macula. This makes the macula swell, causing blurry vision.
Many different conditions can cause macular edema. The most common one is diabetic retinopathy — an eye condition that causes vision loss in people with diabetes. When diabetic retinopathy causes macular edema, it’s called diabetic macular edema (DME).
If you have diabetic retinopathy, managing your diabetes can help prevent or delay vision loss. It’s also important to get a dilated eye exam at least once a year.
How common is ROP?
ROP affects over 3.5% of all premature births, as over 14,000 cases are diagnosed annually in the USA.
Approximately 3.9 million infants are born in the U.S. each year, with about 28,000 weighing in at 2¾ pounds or less at birth, but thanks to advances in neonatal care, not all premature infants develop ROP.
About 90% of all infants with ROP have a mild case, requiring no treatment at all, as it generally resolves on its own.
Will my child have lasting vision problems?
Premature infants are already more likely to have vision problems. Things like nearsightedness, crossed eyes, and glaucoma show up more often and earlier in children born prematurely. Regular eye exams can help catch these issues quickly.
