The surgery done to remove the vitreous gel from the eye, when performed through incisions less than 0.7mm is known as MIVS.
Advantages:
- Lesser complications (closed chamber surgery)
- Faster recovery (less inflammation)
- Increased patient comfort (Sutureless)
- Lesser refractive error (lesser scarring)
Scleral Buckling Surgery:
This involves placing a flexible band (scleral buckle) around the eye to fix the detached retina back to its normal position.
Types:
- Drainage & Non-drainage surgery
- Segmental & Encirclage surgery
Pneumoretinopexy
A relatively quick surgery with faster recovery performed in a few selected cases of retinal detachment.
Retinal Laser procedures:
Green lasers or Red lasers are used in various retinal diseases. These include:
Pan Retinal Photocoagulation (PRP) laser: Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinal Venous Occlusions, Vasculitis, etc.
Barrage laser: Retinal degenerations, Retinal holes, Sub-clinical Retinal Detachments
Grid and Focal Laser: Diabetic Maculopathy
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): Age-Related macular Degeneration, Idiopathic Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (IPCV)
ROP Lasers: Retinopathy of Prematurity
Intra-Vitreal Injections:
The procedure of injecting a drug directly in the gel of the eye (vitreous) is known as an intra-vitreal injection. Various types of injections that are given by this route include:
- Eylea
- Accentrix (Lucentis)
- Ozurdex
- Avastin
- Razumab
- Zaltrap
- Triamcinolone acetonide
- Antibiotics
- Antivials
Retinal Diagnostic Procedures:
Because retina lies deep inside the eyeball and is not seen externally, highly specialised equipment is needed to visualise and diagnose its diseases.
- Fundus Photo
- Fundus Angiography
- OCT Scanning
- B-scan sonography
- Perimetry for visual fields
- Non-Contact Tonometry
- Auto-Refractometry
- Auto-Keratometry
