Medical & Surgical Retina

Retina Service

The retina is the light-sensitive lining at the back of your eye. When it is damaged, vision is at risk — but early, accurate treatment can preserve and often restore sight.

Our retina clinic combines high-resolution imaging with modern medical and laser therapy. Every patient receives a documented baseline scan so that change over time can be measured, not guessed.

Conditions we treat

  • Diabetic Retinopathy

    Damage to retinal blood vessels from diabetes. Often silent until advanced — annual screening is essential for everyone living with diabetes.

  • Retinal Vein Occlusion

    A blocked retinal vein causing sudden blurring, bleeding and swelling. Prompt treatment protects central vision.

  • Age-related Macular Degeneration

    Deterioration of the macula, the centre of vision. Wet AMD responds well to timely intravitreal therapy.

  • Macular Hole

    A small full-thickness defect at the centre of the macula causing distorted, dim central vision.

  • Epiretinal Membrane

    A fine scar tissue layer on the macula that wrinkles the retina and distorts straight lines.

  • Retinal Tears

    Breaks in the retina, often preceded by new floaters or flashing lights. Laser can prevent progression.

  • Retinal Detachment

    The retina separates from its blood supply — a true emergency. Contact us immediately if a curtain or shadow crosses your vision.

Treatments & investigations

  • Intravitreal Injections

    Anti-VEGF and steroid therapy delivered into the eye under sterile conditions, with topical anaesthesia and minimal discomfort.

  • Retinal Laser

    Targeted laser to seal tears, treat leaking vessels and stabilise proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

  • OCT Imaging

    Micron-resolution cross-sections of the retina that reveal fluid and swelling long before it becomes visible any other way.

  • Digital Fundus Imaging

    Wide, high-resolution retinal photographs for diagnosis, patient education and long-term comparison.

If you live with diabetes, hypertension or sickle cell disease, book a dilated retinal examination at least once a year.
