Expert Retina Care to Protect Your Vision at Sivawurity clinic
The retina, that light-sensitive tissue at the very back of your eye, plays an absolutely vital role in how you see the world. It’s responsible for converting light into signals your brain can understand, essentially creating the images you perceive. When something affects your retina, it can significantly impact your sight, which is why early diagnosis and timely treatment are so incredibly important.
At Sivawurity clinic, our dedicated Retina Care team is here to help you safeguard your vision. We provide expert diagnosis, cutting-edge treatments, and compassionate support every step of the way, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your precious sight.
Common Retinal Conditions We Expertly Treat
Whether you're experiencing symptoms or have already been diagnosed, our Dr. Sivawurity is here to guide you through your treatment options for a wide range of retinal problems, including:
- Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): A leading cause of central vision loss in older adults.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to retinal blood vessels caused by diabetes.
- Retinal Detachment: When the retina pulls away from its normal position, requiring urgent treatment.
- Macular Hole: A small break in the macula, affecting central vision.

- Retinal Vein Occlusion: A blockage in the retinal veins that can lead to vision loss.
What to Expect from Our Retina Services at Sivawurity clinic
At Sivawurity clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach to managing retinal conditions, utilizing advanced technology and personalized care:
Advanced Diagnostics
To get a clear and detailed picture of your retinal health, we use some of the most sophisticated imaging and diagnostic tools available, such as:
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides high-resolution, cross-sectional images of your retina, revealing its intricate layers.
- Fluorescein Angiography (FA): Uses a dye to highlight blood vessels in the retina, helping identify blockages or leaks.
- Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICGA): Looks at deeper retinal layers and the underlying choroid, often used for specific conditions like AMD.
- Fundus Photography: Captures detailed images of the back of your eye for documentation and comparison over time.
- Electroretinography (ERG): Measures the electrical activity of retinal cells in response to light, assessing retinal function.
- Visual Field Testing: Checks your peripheral vision to detect any blind spots or areas of vision loss.
- Medical Management: Non-surgical treatments involving medications, often administered via eye drops or injections.
Laser Therapy
We follow highly-advanced laser treatment practices for various retinal issues. These precise, targeted therapies include:
- Laser Photocoagulation: Uses laser energy to seal leaking blood vessels or create tiny burns to prevent abnormal vessel growth.
- Laser Retinopexy: A laser procedure used to seal retinal tears or holes, often to prevent retinal detachment.
Surgical Retina Care
Surgery for the retina may be necessary if the scenario is more complex or severe. Rest assured, our highly skilled retina surgeons are experts in delicate procedures such as:
- Vitrectomy: Removal of the vitreous gel from the eye to treat conditions like retinal detachment, macular holes, or severe diabetic retinopathy.
- Scleral Buckling: A surgical procedure to reattach a detached retina by placing a silicone band around the outside of the eye.
- Pneumatic Retinopexy: A less invasive procedure involving a gas bubble injection into the eye to push the retina back into place.
Specialized Management Programs:
- Diabetic Retinopathy Care: If you have diabetes, you're at a higher risk for developing retinal issues. We provide regular screenings, early detection, and effective treatments to help prevent vision loss caused by diabetic retinopathy.
- AMD Management: For patients with age-related macular degeneration, we offer the latest and most effective treatments—including anti-VEGF injections—to help slow the disease's progression and protect your vital central vision.
