Retina Treatment
in Bhiwadi

Expert diagnosis and treatment of all retinal conditions — diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, macular degeneration and more. Led by Dr. Monika Yadav at Jagdamba Eye Hospital.

What is Retina Treatment?

The retina is the delicate light-sensitive tissue lining the back of your eye. It converts light into electrical signals that travel via the optic nerve to your brain, creating the images you see. When the retina is damaged, vision becomes distorted, blurred or is lost entirely — sometimes without any warning symptoms in the early stages.

Retina treatment encompasses the diagnosis, monitoring and management of all conditions affecting the retina and vitreous (the gel-filled cavity of the eye). At Jagdamba Eye Hospital in Bhiwadi, Dr. Monika Yadav leads our retina service, performing laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injections and coordinating vitreoretinal surgery where required.

Early detection is critical — many retinal conditions cause permanent vision loss if left untreated, but respond very well to treatment when caught early. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of retinal disease, regular retina check-ups are essential.

Conditions We Treat

Diabetic Retinopathy

High blood sugar damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina, causing leakage, swelling and new vessel growth. One of the leading causes of blindness in working-age adults — fully preventable with regular check-ups and timely treatment.

Retinal Detachment

The retina separates from the underlying tissue, cutting off its blood supply. This is a medical emergency. Sudden flashes of light, a shower of floaters or a dark curtain across your vision require immediate attention.

Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Age-related deterioration of the macula — the central area of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. Causes distorted or missing central vision. Both dry and wet AMD are managed with monitoring and anti-VEGF injections.

Retinal Tears and Holes

Small breaks in the retina that, if untreated, can progress to full detachment. Laser photocoagulation seals the tear quickly and effectively in an outpatient procedure, preventing vision loss.

Macular Oedema

Fluid accumulation in the macula causing central vision blurring. Common in diabetes and after retinal vein occlusion. Treated with anti-VEGF injections or laser, often achieving significant vision improvement.

Retinal Vein Occlusion

Blockage of the retinal vein causes haemorrhage and swelling. Treated with anti-VEGF injections and laser to preserve and restore vision. Often associated with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Retina Anatomy & Laser Treatment

Macula Optic Disc Retina Laser Treatment

Laser photocoagulation seals leaking blood vessels and prevents further retinal damage.

Warning Signs — See a Doctor Immediately

These symptoms can indicate serious retinal conditions. Do not wait — early treatment prevents permanent vision loss.

Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
A shower of new floaters or black spots
Flashes of light in peripheral vision
A dark curtain or shadow across your vision
Distorted straight lines (wavy or bent)
Blurring or blank spot in central vision
Difficulty reading fine print suddenly
Eye redness with sudden vision change

Treatment Methods

Laser Photocoagulation

A focused laser beam creates small controlled burns that seal leaking blood vessels, destroy abnormal new vessels and weld retinal tears shut. Performed as an outpatient procedure, usually in 1–3 sessions. Particularly effective for diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and some forms of macular degeneration.

Intravitreal Injections (Anti-VEGF)

Anti-VEGF drugs (such as Bevacizumab or Ranibizumab) are injected directly into the vitreous cavity of the eye to reduce leakage, swelling and the growth of abnormal blood vessels. Used for wet AMD, diabetic macular oedema and retinal vein occlusion. The injection itself takes less than a minute under topical anaesthesia.

Vitrectomy (Surgical)

For complex cases — retinal detachment, vitreous haemorrhage or epiretinal membrane — vitreoretinal surgery removes the vitreous gel and addresses the underlying problem. Dr. Monika Yadav coordinates referral for vitrectomy to specialist vitreoretinal surgeons where required.

Monitoring and Follow-up

Many retinal conditions require ongoing monitoring with OCT scans and fundus photography to track disease progression and treatment response. Diabetic patients should have a retinal examination at least once a year, or more frequently if changes are detected.

Frequently Asked Questions

All diabetic patients should have a dilated fundus examination at least once a year, even if they have no visual symptoms. Diabetic retinopathy often has no symptoms in its early stages — by the time vision is affected, significant damage may already have occurred. Patients with existing retinopathy may need to be reviewed every 3–6 months.

Most patients experience only a mild stinging or pressure sensation during laser photocoagulation. Anaesthetic eye drops are used before the procedure. You may see bright flashes during treatment, which is normal. Discomfort is usually minimal and resolves within a few hours.

Yes, in most cases. Surgical repair of retinal detachment (through vitrectomy, scleral buckling or pneumatic retinopexy) successfully reattaches the retina in the majority of patients. However, the degree of vision recovery depends on whether the macula (centre of the retina) was involved before surgery — which is why rapid treatment is essential.

Wet AMD typically requires a loading phase of three monthly injections, followed by injections as needed based on OCT monitoring. Many patients require injections every 1–3 months indefinitely to maintain the treatment effect. The frequency is tailored individually based on your response to treatment.

Diabetic retinopathy can be significantly delayed or prevented by maintaining good blood sugar control, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, not smoking and attending regular eye examinations. Laser treatment in early stages of retinopathy can dramatically reduce the risk of progressing to sight-threatening disease.
