What is the Retina?
The retina is a thin, light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye that plays a vital role in vision.
It captures the images you see and sends them as signals to your brain through the optic nerve.
Retinal diseases can affect your vision, and at American Laser Eye Hospitals, we use advanced tools and techniques to detect and treat these conditions effectively.
When Do I Need Retinal Services?
You may need retinal services if the retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye—is damaged or affected by certain conditions. Common retinal issues include:
Retinal Detachment
This is a serious condition where the retina separates from its underlying tissue. If not treated quickly, it can lead to permanent vision loss.Diabetic Retinopathy
High blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina. If you’re diabetic, regular eye check-ups are essential to prevent vision problems.Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
AMD affects central vision, causing blurriness or distortion. Early diagnosis and advanced treatments can help preserve and improve vision.Retinal Vascular Diseases
Conditions like vein or artery blockages in the retina can cause sudden vision loss. Our expert team provides timely diagnosis and effective care to protect your eyesight.
How Our Experts Treat Retinal Conditions
Anti-VEGF Injections
Certain retinal diseases are caused by excess VEGF, a protein that triggers the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye. Anti-VEGF injections help block this protein, slowing disease progression and protecting your vision.
Intravitreal Implants
These tiny implants are placed directly into the eye to deliver medication over time. They are highly effective for treating conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and inflammation of the retina.
Scleral Buckling Surgery
Used to repair retinal detachment, this procedure involves placing a silicone band (buckle) around the eye to gently push the wall of the eye closer to the detached retina. It’s a safe and proven method that promotes reattachment and vision recovery, especially effective in certain cataract patients.
