Advanced Surgical Solutions for Complex Retinal Conditions by Dr. Avijit Vishnoi

While many retinal conditions can be managed medically, some require precise surgical intervention to preserve or restore vision. Surgical retina focuses on advanced procedures to treat conditions affecting the vitreous (the clear gel filling the eye) and the retina itself.

At Anushree Eye Hospital, Dr. Avijit Vishnoi, a highly experienced and fellowship-trained Vitreo Retina Surgeon, leads our surgical retina department. With state-of-the-art facilities and a commitment to advanced techniques, Dr. Vishnoi provides expert surgical care for even the most complex retinal disorders.

Dr. Avijit Vishnoi: Your Vitreo Retina Surgeon

Dr. Avijit Vishnoi (M.S. Ophthal, F.R.F., F.N.N.) is renowned for his surgical precision and compassionate approach. His extensive training and vast experience in vitreoretinal surgery mean you are in the hands of a specialist who understands the intricate nature of the eye and the delicate procedures required to treat serious retinal conditions. Dr. Vishnoi is dedicated to achieving the best possible visual outcomes for his patients.

Understanding Surgical Retina

Surgical retina involves specialized procedures performed inside the eye (intraocular surgery) to address structural problems with the retina and vitreous. These conditions often lead to severe vision loss if not treated promptly and effectively by a skilled surgeon.

Key Surgical Retina Conditions We Treat

Dr. Vishnoi provides expert surgical management for a wide range of retinal conditions, including:

1. Retinal Detachment

What it is: A serious condition where the retina pulls away from its underlying support tissue. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate surgical attention to prevent permanent vision loss.
Surgical Solutions: Vitrectomy (removal of vitreous gel) often combined with gas, oil, or silicone oil tamponade, and Scleral Buckle (a silicone band placed around the eye to push the retina back into place).

2. Diabetic Vitreous Hemorrhage

What it is: Bleeding into the vitreous gel, commonly caused by abnormal blood vessel growth in advanced diabetic retinopathy, leading to sudden, severe vision loss.
Surgical Solution: Vitrectomy to clear the blood and prevent further bleeding.

3. Macular Hole

What it is: A small tear or defect in the macula, causing a blind spot or distorted central vision.
Surgical Solution: Vitrectomy with peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and gas tamponade to help the hole close.

4. Epiretinal Membrane (Macular Pucker)

What it is: A thin, scar-like tissue that forms on the surface of the macula, causing distorted or blurred central vision.
Surgical Solution: Vitrectomy with membrane peeling to remove the scar tissue.

5. Retinal Tears

What it is: Small breaks in the retina that can lead to retinal detachment if not treated promptly.
Surgical Solution: Often treated with Laser Photocoagulation or Cryopexy (freezing) to seal the tear and prevent detachment.

6. Dislocated Intraocular Lenses (IOLs)

What it is: A complication where the artificial lens implanted during cataract surgery becomes dislodged.
Surgical Solution: Surgical repositioning or exchange of the IOL.

7. Endophthalmitis

What it is: A severe infection inside the eye, often a rare complication of eye surgery or trauma.
Surgical Solution: Emergency Vitrectomy may be performed along with antibiotic injections.

Advanced Surgical Procedures

Dr. Avijit Vishnoi utilizes the latest surgical techniques and equipment for optimal patient outcomes:

Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV): A minimally invasive surgical procedure where small incisions are made in the sclera (white part of the eye) to remove the vitreous gel and perform necessary repairs on the retina.
Scleral Buckling: An extraocular (outside the eye) surgical procedure used to reattach a detached retina, often in conjunction with vitrectomy.
Laser Photocoagulation & Cryopexy: Used during or after surgery to seal retinal tears or treat abnormal blood vessels.
