Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Retina

The retina is a light-sensitive layer located at the back of the eye. It converts incoming light into electrical signals, which are transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve. The brain then interprets these signals as vision.
Yes. If retinal diseases are not diagnosed and treated early, they can lead to severe and sometimes irreversible vision loss. Early intervention greatly improves outcomes.
Common symptoms include blurred or distorted vision, flashes of light, floaters (dark spots or cobweb-like shadows), and sudden loss of vision. Any sudden visual change should be evaluated urgently.
People at higher risk include those with diabetes, high blood pressure, high myopia (severe near-sightedness), smokers, individuals with a family history of retinal disease, and people over the age of 50.
The most common retinal diseases include: • Diabetic retinopathy • Retinal detachment • Age-related macular degeneration • Retinal vein occlusion
Most retina specialists recommend a comprehensive retinal examination at least once a year. Patients with diabetes or existing retinal problems may require more frequent evaluations.
Most retinal diseases are painless and may not produce symptoms in early stages. This is why regular eye examinations are essential.
Treatment depends on the condition and may include medications, laser therapy, intraocular (intravitreal) injections, and vitreoretinal surgery (vitrectomy).
Diagnostic methods include dilated eye examination, retinal imaging, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and in some cases, fluorescein or OCT angiography.
While not all retinal diseases can be prevented, early detection, good control of chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and timely treatment can significantly reduce the risk of vision loss.
The cost of retinal treatment in Kolkata typically ranges from ₹3,000 to ₹70,000, depending on the condition, investigations required, and treatment modality.
You should seek immediate evaluation if you notice sudden vision loss, flashes of light, new floaters, distortion of vision, or dark areas in your visual field.
