When Should You See a Retina Specialist?

See a retina specialist promptly if you notice sudden flashes of light, a shower of new floaters, a shadow or curtain across your vision, wavy or distorted central vision, or a sudden drop in vision. These can be signs of a retinal detachment or other urgent retinal problems. People with diabetes should have a retinal examination regularly, even when their vision seems normal, because diabetic eye damage can develop without symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a retina specialist treat?

A retina specialist diagnoses and treats diseases of the retina and vitreous at the back of the eye, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, vitreous haemorrhage and retinal vein or artery blocks.

How often should people with diabetes have a retina check-up?

People with diabetes should have a retinal examination at least once a year, or more often if their eye doctor advises, because diabetic retinopathy can develop before any change in vision is noticed.

What is vitrectomy surgery?

Vitrectomy is a surgery in which the vitreous gel inside the eye is removed to repair problems such as retinal detachment or bleeding inside the eye. AK Eye Hospital performs sutureless micro-incision vitrectomy using the Stellaris Elite system.
