Retinal disorders are complex and demand specialist diagnostic and surgical expertise.
At Rajan Eye Care Hospital, our dedicated Retina Diagnosis and treatment clinic offers advanced solutions for retina-vitreous diseases, supported by skilled retinal specialists and state-of-the-art technology.
Conditions Diagnosed and Treated
At Rajan Eye Care Hospital’s Retina Diagnosis clinic, our experts specialize in diagnosing and treating a range of retinal conditions, including:
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
A common condition affecting central vision in older adults.
Diabetic Retinopathy
A diabetes-related condition impacting the retina’s blood vessels, leading to vision loss if untreated.
Vascular Eye Disease
Disorders involving the retinal blood vessels.
Inherited Retinal Disease
Genetic conditions affecting retinal function.
Uveitis (Inflammation of the Middle Eye Layer)
Causes swelling and tissue damage within the eye.
Retinal Tears and Detachments
Conditions where the retina separates from the underlying tissue, leading to vision loss.
Macular Holes
Small breaks in the macula, affecting central vision.
Ocular Tumors
Benign or malignant growths on the retina requiring specialized care.

Microincision Vitrectomy Surgery (MIVS)
Rajan Eye Care Hospital is renowned for its expertise in Retina Diagnosis and advanced retinal surgeries, including Microincision Vitrectomy Surgery (MIVS), also known as minimally invasive vitrectomy. MIVS utilizes 25- or 23-gauge instruments and a transconjunctival, sutureless approach, providing significant advantages for both patients and surgeons.
With smaller incisions and no need for sutures, MIVS facilitates faster healing, greater postoperative comfort, and improved visual recovery. Patients also experience reduced discomfort, shorter operating times, less postoperative inflammation, and minimized surgically induced astigmatism.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Retina Diagnosis and treatment.
01What is Retina Diagnosis?
Retina Diagnosis involves specialized procedures and imaging techniques to detect and evaluate conditions affecting the retina, such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal detachments.
02What are common symptoms of retinal disorders?
Symptoms include sudden vision loss, floaters, flashes of light, or distorted vision. If you experience any of these, seek a retina evaluation immediately.
03How is diabetic retinopathy diagnosed?
Diabetic retinopathy is diagnosed through imaging techniques like Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which provide detailed images of the retina and blood vessels.
04What is Microincision Vitrectomy Surgery (MIVS)?
MIVS is a minimally invasive vitrectomy procedure using small incisions and sutureless technology, which reduces recovery time and postoperative discomfort.
05Can retinal diseases lead to permanent vision loss?
Without prompt diagnosis and treatment, some retinal diseases can cause irreversible vision loss. Regular eye exams are essential, especially for at-risk individuals.
06What is the purpose of the green laser in retinal treatment?
The green laser is used for photocoagulation, a procedure that seals abnormal blood vessels and prevents further retinal damage.
07How does Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) assist in Retina Diagnosis?
OCT provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, helping specialists diagnose conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
08Are there non-surgical treatments available for retinal disorders?
Yes, options like Lucentis therapy and laser treatments can manage certain conditions, but surgical interventions may be needed for more severe cases.
09What makes Rajan Eye Care Hospital a leader in Retina Diagnosis?
Our hospital combines advanced technology, skilled specialists, and comprehensive treatment options to deliver superior care for retinal and vitreo-retinal conditions.
10Who is at risk for retinal disorders?
People with diabetes, high myopia, a family history of retinal diseases, or age-related conditions are at higher risk and should undergo regular retina evaluations.
Noticed floaters, flashes or distorted vision?
Seek a retina evaluation immediately. Book with our retina specialists at T Nagar, Adyar or Velachery.
