Overview

The retina is essential for clear vision. Conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration can cause permanent vision loss, but early treatment often preserves sight.

Who it may help

  • People with diabetes needing eye screening
  • People with macular degeneration
  • People with blocked retinal blood vessels
  • People with sudden floaters, flashes or vision changes

Treatment options

Options include laser treatment, injections into the eye, good control of diabetes and blood pressure, and surgery for advanced disease.

What to expect

Examination involves dilating drops and retinal scans. Treatment may need repeated visits over months.

At KIH
