Retina care

Understanding your care

The retina is the thin, light-sensing layer at the back of the eye. It turns light into signals that travel to the brain, and its centre, the macula, gives you sharp reading and face-recognition vision. Many retinal conditions cause no pain and few early symptoms, so regular checks matter, especially if you have diabetes. Retina care at Neo Vision is led by Dr. Keerthi Kunche, a retina specialist with a fellowship in vitreo-retina, covering medical retina, surgical retina and uveitis.

What your care may involve

• Diabetic retinopathy: diabetes can damage the small blood vessels of the retina. Regular eye checks help find changes early.
• Age-related macular degeneration and other macular conditions, which affect central vision.
• Retinal vein occlusion and other blood-vessel problems of the retina.
• Retinal detachment and other vitreo-retinal conditions, including surgical care.
• Uveitis: inflammation inside the eye.
• Screening and care for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in premature babies.
• Treatment options your doctor may discuss include eye injections (intravitreal injections) and retinal laser.

What to expect at your visit

Your eyes will usually be dilated with drops so the doctor can see the retina clearly. Your vision may be blurred and sensitive to light for a few hours, so please bring sunglasses and avoid driving yourself home. If you have diabetes, bring your latest sugar reports and your list of medicines.
