Retinal Detachment Surgery in Navi Mumbai

Retinal detachment occurs when fluid passes through a retinal tear or when scar tissue pulls the retina away. Surgery aims to close retinal breaks, flatten the retina, and support healing using laser, gas, silicone oil, vitrectomy, or scleral buckle techniques.

• Sudden floaters, flashes of light, a shadow or curtain in vision, peripheral vision loss, or sudden blurred vision.
• High myopia, eye trauma, previous cataract surgery, family history, or retinal lattice degeneration can increase risk.
• Symptoms should be treated as urgent and not watched at home.

• Have prompt retina checks for flashes, new floaters, or high-myopia warning signs.
• Treat retinal tears early with laser or cryotherapy when advised.
• Use protective eyewear to reduce trauma risk.

• Small retinal tears may be treated with laser or cryotherapy before detachment develops.
• Pneumatic retinopexy may be suitable for selected detachments.

• Vitrectomy, scleral buckle, endolaser, gas tamponade, or silicone oil may be used depending on tear location, lens status, and detachment severity.
• Face-down or side positioning and flight restrictions may apply when gas is used.

An eye specialist reviews symptoms, vision changes, medical history, current medicines, eye pressure, refraction, and detailed eye examination findings before advising Retinal Detachment Surgery. Tests such as slit-lamp examination, dilated retina check, OCT, fundus photography, corneal scan, visual field testing, or blood sugar review may be advised when relevant.

Recovery depends on the diagnosis and procedure. Many eye treatments are outpatient, but surgery or laser treatment may need eye drops, protective glasses, activity limits, and scheduled reviews. Follow-up is important because some eye diseases can progress silently even after symptoms improve.

Book an eye consultation for blurred vision, eye pain, redness, discharge, sudden floaters, flashes of light, double vision, light sensitivity, injury, diabetes-related vision changes, or persistent dryness. Sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, chemical injury, or a curtain-like shadow in vision needs urgent care.
