Retina Surgery at Drishtideep - Giving you the Clear Vision

The retina is the inner layer of the eye and the most important part as well. It contains millions of light-sensitive cells and nerve cells to organize visual information. When light hits the retina, it creates a series of chemical and electrical reactions that eventually produce nerve impulses. Through the fibres of the optic nerve, these are transmitted to various visual centres of the brain. Thus, we are able to see things because the retina transmits visual data to the brain via the optic nerve.

In simple words, the retina improves our capacity to see the world around us, and any issue with the retina reduces the ability to see well.

Four Major Functions of Retina

1. Absorbing photons of light
2. Converting light into a biochemical signal
3. Converting biochemical signals into electrical impulses
4. Transmitting electrical impulses to the brain through ganglion cells.

However, there are times when the retina gets affected for certain reasons. We at Drishtideep Eye Institute, provide Retina surgery services to treat retinal diseases that include

• Retinal Detachment
• Macular Hole
• Diabetic Retinopathy
• Vitreous hemorrhage
• Foreign body in retina

A retinal tear or detachment can result from an eye injury, aging, or other eye disorder. It is a disorder where fluid accumulates beneath the retina. This typically occurs when fluid seeps through the retinal tear and undergoes collection.
