Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition that can cause permanent vision loss if not treated quickly. It occurs when the retina—the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye—pulls away from its normal position. This is a true emergency, and prompt surgery is the only way to save vision.
At The Eye Center – Dr. Mahnaz Naveed Shah & Associates in Karachi, our vitreoretinal surgeons provide 24/7 emergency care using advanced microsurgical techniques to treat retinal detachment effectively and safely.
Recognizing Retinal Detachment Symptoms
Early symptoms should never be ignored. Warning signs include:
- A sudden increase in floaters (black spots or strings in your vision)
- Flashes of light in one or both eyes
- A shadow or “curtain” spreading across your field of vision
- Sudden, unexplained loss of vision
If you experience any of these symptoms, seek emergency eye care immediately. Delay can lead to irreversible blindness.
Advanced Surgical Treatment in Karachi
Our specialists perform cutting-edge retinal detachment surgeries tailored to each patient’s condition:
- Scleral Buckling: A silicone band is placed around the eye to gently push the wall of the eye against the detached retina.
- Vitrectomy Surgery: A highly precise procedure to remove vitreous gel, repair tears, and reattach the retina.
- Pneumatic Retinopexy: A gas bubble is injected into the eye to press the retina back into place, often used for specific types of detachments.
These techniques are combined with laser or cryotherapy (freezing) to seal retinal tears and prevent further damage.
