Best Retina Eye Specialist in Delhi

Vitreo Retinal Diseases at AKIO

Think of the retina as the highly sensitive film at the back of a camera. When light hits it, the retina translates that light into electrical signals sent directly to your brain.  Also called as “Aankh ka Parda”. If this delicate tissue tears, swells, or bleeds, your vision distorts or goes entirely dark. If something goes wrong here, then the information can’t reach the brain, thus causing a mechanical failure. In short, “we have vision loss which can be permanent”

Retina detachment:

This mainly refers to the detachment of the retina from the layer underneath. If it is not taken care of properly, there is a chance of permanent vision loss.

Diabetic Macular Edema:

A complication caused by Diabetic Retinopathy, this is the thickening of the retina due to accumulation of fluid.

Age-related Macular Degeneration:

This is when the macula, which is responsible for sharp, central vision, gets damaged as we age.

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy:

This is when the fluid builds up under the retina, causing it to detach, leading to distorted vision.

Retinal Vein Occlusion:

This is when the veins that carry blood from the retina get damaged, leading to vision loss.

Epiretinal Membrane:

This is the formation of cells inside your retina. It can cause blurry vision.

Iridofundal Coloboma:

This is a defect in the iris of the eye that occurs during childhood, and may lead to reduced vision.

Macular Hole:

A macular hole is a small gap that opens at the centre of the retina, in an area called the macula.

When Should You See a Retina Specialist in Delhi?

If you are experiencing progressive loss of night vision or central or peripheral vision, it’s crucial to consult the best retina specialist in Delhi immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment by a qualified vitreoretinal surgeon can help preserve your vision and prevent complications.

1. The Sudden "Shower" of Floaters Seeing a stray speck drifting across your vision is normal. Waking up to hundreds of black dots or cobwebs filling your sight is not.
2. Flashes of Light (Photopsia) Imagine a camera flash firing off in the corner of your eye, especially in a dark room.
3. The Dark Curtain A grey or black shadow creeping in from the side, top, or bottom of your vision
4. Sudden Central Distortion If straight lines suddenly look wavy or a blurry grey patch appears

What Causes Vitreo-Retinal Conditions?

These conditions can result from:

> Diabetes (leading to diabetic retinopathy)

> Aging and macular degeneration

>Eye trauma or injury

>High myopia or retinal thinning>Inflammatory diseases like uveitis

What kind of treatment options will I have?

Laser Photocoagulation:

This is a laser method that scars abnormal structures in the retina.

Injections:

Special medications are injected directly into the eye.

Vitrectomy:

This surgery removes the vitreous gel from the eye and replaces it with a saline solution.

Cryotherapy:

This technique uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal retinal tissue.

Scleral Buckling:

This procedure involves placing a silicone band around the eye to hold the retina in place.

Pneumatic Retinopexy:

This procedure involves injecting a gas bubble into the vitreous cavity to push the retina back into place.

How do I know if I need retina surgery?

If you experience:

  • Sudden changes in vision
  • Floaters or webs
  • Flashes of light
  • Shadow in your vision
  • Pain or discomfort
  • Change in colour perception
  • Distortion of straight lines

You might end up with conditions like retinal detachment or severe retinopathy, which requires you to have surgery, so consider scheduling a consultation with your nearest retina eye specialist.

It is also important to note that these symptoms don’t necessarily mean that you have a vitreo-retinal disease, as these signs can also occur with other eye diseases, so it’s important to talk to an eye care professional for proper evaluation and management.

The treatment of vitreo-retinal diseases is generally performed under local anaesthesia, and discomfort during the procedure is usually minimal.

After the treatment, some patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness in the eye, but this can be managed with appropriate medications and typically resolves within a few days.

The recovery process after vitreo-retinal disease treatment can vary depending on the type and extent of the treatment performed.

Some patients may experience a quick recovery, while others may require a longer time to heal. Your eye care professional will provide you with specific post-treatment instructions and guidelines for a smooth recovery.

Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema is a diabetic complication that occurs due to damaged blood vessels in the retina.

Diabetic Macular Edema is a common complication of Diabetic Retinopathy in which fluid accumulates in the macula, causing it to swell, and lead to vision loss. In both cases, treatment is crucial.

Age-related Macular Degeneration is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula.

It can occur in either dry or wet form, with the wet form being more severe. If you experience blurry or distorted vision, or shadow in the center of vision, you may require a treatment.

Central serous chorioretinopathy is a retinal disorder in which fluid accumulates behind the retina, resulting in vision loss.

It affects men more frequently and occurs between the ages 20 and 50. Most of the cases resolve spontaneously and gain normal vision.

Retinal vein occlusion occurs when there’s a blockage in the veins that carries blood away from the retina, which can cause vision loss.

Macular hole is when a circular opening forms in your macula. As the hole forms, things in your central vision will look blurry, wavy or distorted. As the hole grows, a dark or blind spot appears in your central vision. A macular hole does not affect your peripheral (side) vision.

ERM occurs when a thin layer of scar tissue accumulates on the surface of the macula and distorts your vision.

It can occur due to multiple reasons, like eye surgery, inflammation, or trauma.

Iridofungal Coloboma is an uncommon eye disorder in which a hole occurs between the iris and the retina. Depending on its size and location in the eye, it may lead to vision loss or vision distortion. Its treatment options vary from observation, glasses, and surgery, depending on its severity.

From experienced doctors to courteous staff.. everyone is so professional and caring. I went for routine checkup only and was really impressed how they took care of every query. My eyes were throughly checked by 4 different doctors and everyone was so humble to answer my queries to utmost satisfaction. Not to mention they took really good care of my mom and saved her eye to which other hospital refused treatment. I would strongly recommend to visit them. My mom’s case was worst and I am glad I contacted them. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

This one is gonna be slightly detailed. To start off, I can simply say that this institution is by far is one of the most well managed place in the country. The entire staff, nurses and doctors are impeccable and polite.

We visited the hospital for my mother’s eye surgery for (retina detachment) and everything went smoothly and can simply say it was the best decision we took. The matters of eye are intricate and I personally don’t think any other place would’ve handled the case with such ease. From scheduling the surgery, to operation to post op care, all was great. This is not just my opinion but almost every other patient we came across and spoke to. Dr Atul a big thanks to you and your team for helping thousands of people see things again.
We met doctor Bharat , he is very sweet and genuinely expalained everything about my dad's conditions. MY DAD IS PRETTY MUCH SATISFIED . Also staff memebers are very welcoming and sweet.

Overall, the ambiance is good. However, the only thing I feel is lacking is the reception area lighting, which is very bright. It was irritating for my dad and some other patients as well. As an eye center, the interior should be dimmer. Just a genuine suggestion.

front office staff and floor supervisors are very helpful. Even though there is a lot of rush and then waiting, but you will get the best treatment here. They understand your issues very well and great treatment is provided. AKIO is highly affordable as we see them not turning back any patient just because of financial issues. Great work by all. Thank you once again. Keep up this great work.

It’s an eye hospital in Safdarjung enclave. Has two floors. They also have a skin center. They do quite intensive tests for eyes using modern technologies. The staff is nice, speak politely, is helpful and services well. Dr Atul Kumar is ex HoD AIIMS and is quite good. He is a retina specialist. Consultation is Rs 1000. OCT is 3500 rs. Series of tests are performed. Then consultation is done. They have washrooms on all floors, which are neat and clean. Water dispensers are also placed. There are changing rooms for both males and females. There is a small lounge with tea, coffee and snacks on payment. There is a small pharmacy desk. A small shoppe for frames and lens too. The treatment charges are seemingly on the higher side. Like for a cataract and lens they charge 65000 rs for one eye with Ayance lens.
Couple of things I ddnt appreciate- admonishing the previous doctors & condemning them. Quoting different prices by staff for the same treatment or tests. Creating anxiety & urgency for treatment. Patient needs to absorb and think and decide.
