RETINAL SURGERY
Home > Service Detail
Retina Surgery in Delhi
Retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and retinal vein occlusion are serious eye diseases that can lead to vision loss if not treated on time.
These conditions often develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages, making regular eye examinations essential for early detection.
Retina surgery plays a crucial role in treating these conditions and preventing permanent vision damage.
According to Dr. Mayank Bansal, a renowned retina surgeon in Delhi, early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention are key to preserving vision, particularly in cases like retinal detachment and diabetic retinopathy.
Claritas Eye & Retina Institute is a leading center for retina surgery in Delhi, offering advanced treatment for a wide range of retinal diseases.
Dr. Mayank Bansal, the founder of the institute, has extensive experience in managing complex retinal disorders.
His expertise, combined with state-of-the-art technology and advanced surgical techniques, ensures that patients receive high-quality and effective retinal care.

Retinal Conditions We Treat at Claritas Eye & Retina Institute in Delhi
At Claritas Eye & Retina Institute, we are equipped to manage a range of retinal issues. These are some of the most prevalent conditions of the retina that we treat on a daily basis:
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina due to high blood sugar levels. Over time, excess glucose can block these small vessels, reducing the retina’s blood supply. In response, the eye may form new blood vessels, but these are usually fragile and abnormal, often leading to leakage and vision problems.
In advanced cases, surgery may be required. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the vitreous gel to access the retina, repair any damage, and seal leaking vessels. The gel is then replaced with a saline solution or gas bubble to support healing.
Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy
Blurred or fluctuating vision
Dark spots or floaters
Impaired color vision
Empty or dark areas in the vision
Difficulty seeing
Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina, the thin layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, separates from the underlying blood vessels that supply it with oxygen and nutrients. When this separation happens, the retina cannot function properly, which may lead to vision loss if not treated promptly.
To repair the detachment, the eye surgeon removes the vitreous gel to gain access to the retina and repair any tears or holes. Laser treatment or cryotherapy is then used to seal the damaged areas and reattach the retina. The vitreous is replaced with a gas bubble or silicone oil to help keep the retina in place while it heals.
Common causes of retinal detachment include high myopia (extreme near-sightedness), ageing, and eye injuries. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to protect vision.
Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy
Flashes of light in one or both eyes
Gradual reduction in peripheral (side) vision
The sudden appearance of floaters
A shadow or "curtain" over part of the vision field
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that affects the central part of vision, making it difficult to see fine details clearly. It most commonly occurs in people over the age of 50.
Key risk factors include increasing age, family history, smoking, and high blood pressure, all of which can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
Treatment Options for AMD
Anti-VEGF injections
Photodynamic therapy
Lifestyle changes and dietary supplements
Low vision aids to support vision quality
Retinal Vein Occlusion
Treatment Options for Retinal Vein Occlusion
Anti-VEGF injections to reduce swelling
Corticosteroid injections
Laser treatment to improve blood flow
Managing underlying health conditions
Macular Edema
Macular edema is a condition where the macula (the central part of the retina) becomes swollen due to fluid buildup, often caused by retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy.
This swelling can affect central vision and make tasks like reading or recognizing faces difficult. Treatment options may include intravitreal injections and laser therapy to reduce swelling and help improve vision.
Symptoms of Macular Edema
Blurred or distorted central vision
Difficulty reading or seeing fine details
Colors appearing faded or washed out
A dark or blurry spot in the center of vision
Inherited Retinal Diseases
Inherited retinal diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease, are genetic conditions that gradually damage the retina and lead to progressive vision loss over time.
Management may include advanced diagnostic testing, genetic counseling, and specialized therapies aimed at slowing disease progression and preserving vision.
Symptoms of Inherited Retinal Diseases
Gradual loss of vision over time
Difficulty seeing in low light or at night (night blindness)
Loss of peripheral (side) vision
Blurred or reduced central vision

Vitrectomy
Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure in which the vitreous gel inside the eye is removed to allow the surgeon to access and treat retinal conditions such as retinal detachment, macular holes, and diabetic retinopathy. This procedure helps repair retinal damage, improve retinal function, and prevent further vision loss.

Retina Surgery Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery time varies depending on the type of retina surgery and the severity of the condition. Most patients recover within 4–8 weeks, although vision may continue to improve gradually.
It is common to experience mild redness, irritation, swelling, or blurred vision for a few days after surgery. These symptoms usually improve as the eye heals.
Use prescribed eye drops and medications regularly to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
Avoid heavy lifting, bending, and strenuous activities for a few weeks to prevent pressure on the healing retina.
Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses or an eye shield and avoid rubbing the operated eye.


If a gas bubble is placed in the eye, you may need to maintain a specific head position to support proper retinal healing.
Attend all follow-up appointments so your retina specialist can monitor recovery and ensure the retina is healing correctly.
Contact your eye doctor immediately if you experience severe pain, sudden vision loss, flashes of light, or increased redness, as these may indicate a complication.
