The retina is the delicate inner layer of the eye that detects light and sends visual signals to the brain, allowing us to see clearly. The vitreous is the transparent gel that fills the center of the eye and supports the retina.
Diseases affecting the retina and vitreous can lead to blurred vision, distortion of vision, flashes and floaters, and, if left untreated, may result in permanent vision loss or blindness.
At New Al Shefa Clinic, Dr. Ahmad Hossein Zadeh, Consultant Ophthalmologist with more than 30 years of experience, provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of retinal and vitreous disorders using advanced imaging technologies, retinal laser treatment, intravitreal injections, and vitreoretinal surgery.
You should seek an eye examination if you experience:
Early diagnosis is essential to preserve vision and achieve the best treatment outcomes.
At New Al Shefa Clinic, we diagnose and treat:
Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of successful retinal treatment.
Our clinic is equipped with advanced retinal imaging technologies including:
These technologies allow early diagnosis, precise monitoring, and personalized treatment planning.
Argon laser photocoagulation is a proven treatment used to seal retinal tears and holes and to treat diabetic retinal disease.
The laser creates tiny therapeutic burns that help prevent retinal detachment and reduce abnormal blood vessel growth.
The procedure is performed in the clinic and usually takes only a few minutes.
Intravitreal injections are among the most effective treatments for retinal diseases affecting the macula and retinal blood vessels.
Anti-VEGF medications work by blocking vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein responsible for abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage.
These injections are commonly used to treat:
Commonly used medications include:
Intravitreal injections are performed under topical anesthesia and are quick, safe, and minimally invasive.
In many cases, they can stabilize vision, improve visual acuity, and reduce the need for more complex surgical procedures.
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels of the retina, leading to diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.
Without treatment, these conditions may cause severe visual impairment or blindness.
Treatment options include:
Regular retinal screening is essential for all diabetic patients.
Dry AMD is the most common form and develops gradually due to degeneration of the retinal cells.
Symptoms may include:
Wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the retina and leak fluid or blood.
This form can progress rapidly and may cause sudden central vision loss.
Early diagnosis and treatment with anti-VEGF injections can significantly improve visual outcomes and slow disease progression.
The Valeda Light Delivery System is the first and only FDA-authorized photobiomodulation treatment for patients with early to intermediate Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Dry AMD).
Valeda uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate retinal cells and improve their energy production and function. The treatment aims to support retinal health, slow disease progression, and improve visual performance in selected patients.
Unlike injections or surgery, Valeda treatment is:
Clinical studies have demonstrated that photobiomodulation therapy may improve visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and retinal function in patients with early to intermediate Dry AMD.
Valeda represents one of the most exciting recent advances in retinal care and offers new hope to patients with Dry AMD who previously had limited treatment options.
Vitreo-retinal surgery is a highly specialized field of ophthalmology that treats diseases of the retina, vitreous, and macula.
Modern vitrectomy surgery is performed using micro-incision techniques that allow faster recovery and improved outcomes.
Vitreo-retinal surgery may be required for:
The goal of surgery is to preserve vision, restore retinal anatomy, and improve visual function.
