Are retinal exams very painful?

Answer: A retinal examination is a non-invasive and painless procedure designed to assess the health of your eye's interior. We use specialized dilating drops to widen your pupils, which may cause a temporary stinging sensation for a few seconds. After dilation, you might experience sensitivity to bright light and blurred near vision for several hours. However, the actual scanning and physical inspection of the retina do not cause any physical pain.

Can retinal damage be reversed?

Answer: Whether retinal damage can be reversed depends entirely on the specific condition and how early it is detected. While some forms of retinal issues, like certain types of detachment or swelling, can be successfully repaired with surgery or lasers, nerve damage is often permanent. Our primary goal is to stabilize your condition and prevent further vision loss. Early intervention is the most critical factor in preserving your remaining sight effectively.

How often should I be tested?

Answer: The frequency of retinal check-ups depends on your personal risk factors and existing eye conditions. For healthy individuals without symptoms, an annual exam is usually recommended. However, if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of retinal disease, our specialists may advise more frequent monitoring every six months. Regular screenings allow us to detect subtle changes early, ensuring that your vision stays protected long-term.

Do I need surgery for repair?

Answer: Not every retinal condition requires surgical intervention. Many issues, such as small retinal tears or diabetic changes, can be managed effectively with non-invasive laser treatments or specialized injections in our clinic. Surgery is typically reserved for more severe cases, such as full retinal detachment or advanced macular issues. Our experts will perform a thorough evaluation to determine the most conservative and effective treatment for you.
