What is Retina ?The retina is like the film in a camera. It is the seeing tissue of the eye. When the focused light hits the retina, a picture is created and sent to the brain through the optic nerve (the nerve of the eye), thus giving us vision.Retina has two parts :Peripheral retinaCentral MaculaMacula being the central part is capable of producing sharp and clear image. This clear image enables us to read, write, and do all fine work.Retinal diseases are first evaluated clinically at our Best eye hospital in Pune with Indirect Ophthalmoloscopy and Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy. Then, if needed, advanced tests are performed.The advance tests conducted by our retina specialist in Pune include:Fundus Fluorescein Angiography : examination of the retinal blood vessels in detail.Optical Coherence Tomography : examination of the cross sectional structure of the retina.Specialized treatment of retinal diseases includes:Green Laser Photo CoagulationRed Laser Photo CoagulationRetinal CryopexyPneumoretinopexy - Gas injectionScleral Buckle Surgery for Retinal DetachmentVitrectomy with injection of Gas / Silicone oil : for complex RetinalIndirect Laser Ophthalmoscope : delivery system for treatment of premature affected by Retinopathy of Prematurity.

GLAUCOMA ,WHAT IS KNOWN COMMONLY AS “KAALA MOTIA”” OR “ KAACH BINDU”.It is the chronic stealer of vision.It is the disease of optic nerve cuased by increase in eye pressure. To retain configuration and biodynamic functions of the eye, a fluid is formed inside the eye. This fluid is called aqueous humour. This fluid is being continuously formed and simultaneously drained out of the eye. There is a very delicate balance of inflow and out flow of this fluid. As long as this balance is retained, the eye functions normally. This balance can be disturbed if either the over production of aqueous or reduced drainage resulting increase in pressure that presses on the blood vessels that bring blood supply to the optic nerve, resulting in poor nutrition and oxygenation of the optic nerve.This process eventually kills the optic nerve fibres. That causes blind spots in periphery of vision called scotoma eventually affecting the central vision. Unfortunately, patients rarely notice these blind areas in their side vision until significant optic nerve damage has occurred. In advanced cases, total visual loss can result as the entire optic nerve may be damaged.Unlike cataract, this loss of sight is permanent and irrecoverable. Fortunately, this can be prevented if glaucoma is diagnosed early and treated before major damage happens. Proper and periodic examination of the eyes by competent specialist is of utmost importance for all adults, especially over the age of 40 years.Best Glaucoma Eye Surgery in PuneOpen angle glaucomaAngle closure glaucomaNormotensive glaucomaSecondary glaucomaMajority of patients have no symptoms until late progression of disease.
