Retina Repair

The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the eye that converts light into neural signals that are then sent to the brain. It is essential for clear vision, and any damage to the retina can result in vision loss or even blindness.

What Causes Retina Damage?

There are many different factors that can cause damage to the retina, including:

• Age-related macular degeneration
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Retinal detachment
• Macular holes and puckers
• Vitreomacular traction
• Inherited retinal diseases

Treatment Options for Retina Repair

The specific treatment options for retina repair will depend on the underlying cause of the damage, as well as the severity of the condition. Treatment options for retina repair include:

• Injections are a common treatment option for retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Anti-VEGF injections work by blocking the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the retina, which can help prevent further damage and improve vision.
• Laser Surgery. Laser surgery can be used to treat a variety of retinal conditions, including diabetic retinopathy and retinal tears. During the procedure, a laser is used to seal off blood vessels or create scars to help stabilize the retina.
• Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the vitreous gel from the eye and replacing it with a saline solution. This can help to repair a detached retina or remove scar tissue that may be causing vision problems.
• Retinal Detachment Surgery. Retinal detachment is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. Surgery is often required to reattach the retina to the back of the eye.
