Retina Consultation

What is Retina & Why is a Retina Checkup Important?

At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, we believe that your eyes are truly a precious gift. Just like a camera needs a strong and clear film to capture beautiful photos, your eyes need a healthy retina to help you see the world clearly.

Your retina acts like a projection screen, sending light signals to your brain to form images. If the retina is damaged or becomes weak, your vision can become blurry or even permanently lost. That’s why regular retina checkups are so important, especially for people with certain medical conditions, high eye power, or increasing age.

Let’s understand why a retina consultation at our clinic is important for maintaining healthy vision.

Why Regular Retina Checkups Are Essential?

At our Clinic, many patients visit our clinic unaware of potential retinal issues until their vision is significantly affected. Routine retina exams allow us to detect and address problems early, preventing irreversible vision loss. Common causes of retinal damage include:

  • Diabetic Retinopathy: High sugar levels can harm retinal vessels, causing bleeding or leaks that blur or even permanently damage vision.

  • Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD): Affects older adults by damaging the macula, which helps with clear, detailed vision. There are two types: dry (gradual vision loss) and wet (sudden vision loss due to bleeding).

  • High Myopia: Individuals with a high minus number (greater than -5.50) are at increased risk of retinal problems. The elongated shape of the eye can stretch and thin the retina, leading to potential tears or detachment.

Eye Injuries: Even minor injuries can cause hidden retinal damage, leading to swelling and blurred vision later on. It’s advisable to consult a retina specialist after any eye trauma.
