Treatment Of Retinal Detachment  in Delhi NCR At Shroff Eye Centre

This depends on if you have developed a retina hole or tear or has it progressed to a retinal detachment.

Treatment options for retina hole or tear

The hole or tear is sealed by producing minute scars on the retina. The scar tissue helps to “weld” the retina to the underlying support tissue and prevent fluid from seeping through the hole. This can reduce or stop the risk of progression to retinal detachment. These scars can be produced by:

  • Laser photocoagulation

    using a laser or strong light source which is focussed throught the pupil on the retina.

  • Cryotherapy

    controlled freezing of the affected retina tissue by using a frozen probe. Numbing eye drops are used to ensure minimal discomfort.

These are outpatient procedures and you do not need to get admitted for them.

Surgical Treatment Options for Retinal Detachment in Delhi NCR

If the retina has become detached and the detachment is too large for laser treatment or cryotherapy alone, surgery is necessary to “re-attach” the retina. Without some type of retinal re-attachment surgery, vision will almost always be lost.

Surgery for retinal detachment can be the following:

  • Scleral Buckling

    Scleral buckling involves the sewing a piece of silicone to the white part (sclera) over the affected retina.

    • Scleral buckling is performed in the operating room under local or general anaesthesia.

    • It is an “extraocular procedure” – meaning the surgeon does not enter the eyeball like in a vitrectomy. In this process, a piece of silicone plastic is sewn onto the outside wall of the eye (sclera) over the site of the tear.These buckles and bands are left permanently and are not visible from outside.

    • Success rates for reattaching the retina with scleral buckling are approximately 90-95%.

  • Pneumoretinopexy

    A gas bubble is injected into the vitreous cavity of the eye.

    The gas bubble pushes against the outer wall of the eye and helps seal off fluid leaking into the vitreous through the gap in the retina.

    The fluid that collected under the retina gets reabsorbed by the body. The retina can now stick to the eye wall like it should. Eventually, the gas bubble also gets reabsorbed.

    This is why the patient is instructed to keep their head in a specific position so that the gas bubble seals the retina tear by its surface tension effect.

  • Vitrectomy

    Vitreous surgery is now routinely undertaken for primary detachments. It is especially useful when:

    • The retinal tears are very large

    • The Tear is placed very far back (posteriorly) on the retina

    • A macular hole is causing detachment

    • If there is blood in the vitreous blocking a clear view of the retina

    • If there is proliferative vitreo-retinopathy

    The vitreous is removed and replaced by air or oil. If silicone oil has been used, it has to be removed at a later date as a separate surgical procedure.

  • Microincision Vitreous Surgery (MIVS)

    with smaller instrument size is the latest revolution in Vitreous surgery. The finer instrumentation allows one to perform technically complex steps with greater safety. It also allows us to safely operate closer to the retina for peeling of fine membranes from the surface of the retina.

FAQs

  • What is the outlook for people with retinal detachment?

    Your outlook or prognosis depends on factors like how your vision was before the retinal detachment, how extensive your detachment was and if there are any other complicating factors. Our advanced retina detachment surgery experts will always discuss this with you prior to surgery.

    In general, surgery for retinal detachment is very successful — the repair works in a majority of the cases. Sometimes, you may need more than one procedure to return the retina to its place.

    that just successfully reattaching the retina (anatomical success) does not always translate into marked visual improvement (functional success).

    This is because fine vision may be permanently affected if the macula is involved; There is less visual return when the retina has been detached for a long duration, or there is a fibrous growth on the surface of the retina. This is why it is important to treat retinal detachment early.

  • What can you expect after retinal detachment surgery?

    Retina surgery can be done under local or general anesthesia.We will keep you under observation for a few hours after surgery.

    You’ll also need to take it easy for a few weeks. Check with our retina surgeons about when you can exercise, drive and get back to your regular activities.

    • Discomfort: After retinal detachment surgery, you may have some discomfort. It can last for a few weeks. We will prescribe basic pain medicine to help you during this time.

    • Take it slow & easy: We may ask you to avoid sudden jerks, driving and exercise for a few weeks.

    • Head position: If we put a bubble in your eye, please follow instructions for your head position. We will tell you about the position your head should be in and how long to keep it there to help heal the eye.

    • Eye patch: Wear the eye patch for as long as you are advised.

    • Eye drops: You will have to diligently use the eye drops as prescribed.

    • Follow-up: Regular follow ups are a must if you have a retinal condition or retina surgery.

    • Improvement in vision: It may take a few weeks to months for your eyesight to start improving after retina surgery.

  • What are the complications of retinal detachment surgery?

    Even though the surgery for retinal detachment is generally successful, like any other surgery it can also lead to some complications. These complications are very infrequent. They may include:

    • Complications like drooping of the upper lid and double vision- which are temporary and usually resolve withuout further intervention.

    • Serious complications such as infection, bleeding severe enough to interfere with vision, glaucoma and cataract formation.

    • Re-detachment of retina

    If this occurs, our retina surgeons will discuss the chances that a re-operation will successfully re-attach the retina.

    Retina surgeries are complex and it is important for the patient to understand that even with our best care and the best retina surgeon, there is a chance that the surgery may fail. This may be due to complications, or simply due to the progressive nature of the retinal disease.

I have now been visiting Shroff Eye Centre for the last 3 years and my experience has been very reliable and trustworthy. I recently went for a regular checkup and a retina hole was identified for which an immediate laser surgery was required. Dr Ashraya did the assessment and immediately set up the laser surgery the next day. It was very expertly done, and the doctor was very knowledgable and empathetic. Dr Richa Pyare did my follow up checkup – great experience with her as well. Would strongly recommend Shroff Eye Centre especially for anything to do with retina issues.
