Retina Surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on the retina - the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that converts light into electrical signals sent to the brain. Retinal surgeries are performed to treat various retinal conditions including retinal detachment, macular hole, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion. These procedures aim to restore or preserve vision by repairing damage to the retinal tissue.
At Dr Jyothi's Eye Hospital in Chandanagar, Hyderabad, we specialise in advanced Retina Surgery and Lasik procedures. Dr Jyothi, with her 12+ years of experience and expertise in treating retinal disorders, has successfully performed numerous retina surgeries, helping patients preserve and restore their precious vision.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a popular refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The procedure uses an excimer laser to create a thin flap in the cornea, then reshapes the underlying corneal tissue to improve how light rays focus on the retina, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Several retinal conditions may require surgical intervention to prevent vision loss. These include:
At Dr Jyothi's Eye Hospital, we perform various advanced retina surgical procedures:
LASIK surgery is a quick, painless procedure performed under local anaesthesia. The step-by-step process includes:
Not all retinal conditions require surgery. Your ophthalmologist will determine if surgery is necessary based on:

Retina surgery has a high success rate when performed by an experienced surgeon. For retinal detachment, the success rate is over 90% with a single surgery. Success rates depend on the type and severity of the condition, how quickly treatment is received, and the overall health of the eye. Early detection and prompt treatment significantly improve outcomes.
LASIK surgery provides permanent correction of the vision error that was treated. However, age-related changes like presbyopia (difficulty reading after age 40) or cataracts may still develop naturally over time. Most patients enjoy excellent vision for many years without needing glasses or contact lenses.
The duration of retina surgery varies depending on the type and complexity of the procedure. Vitrectomy typically takes 1 to 2 hours. Scleral buckling may take 1 to 1.5 hours. Pneumatic retinopexy is quicker, taking about 30 minutes. Your surgeon will provide specific timing based on your individual case.
The actual LASIK laser procedure takes only 10 to 15 minutes for both eyes. However, you should expect to spend about 1 to 2 hours at the hospital including pre-operative preparation, numbing, the procedure itself, and immediate post-operative observation.
The cost of retina surgery varies depending on the type of procedure (vitrectomy, scleral buckling, etc.) and the complexity of the condition. LASIK cost depends on the technology used and degree of correction needed. At Dr Jyothi's Eye Hospital, we offer affordable and transparent pricing for all procedures. We also accept insurance and cashless claims. Please contact us at +91 73373 56570 for a detailed consultation and personalized quote.
If a gas bubble was used during your retina surgery, you will need to maintain a specific head position (such as face-down) for several days to weeks. This allows the gas bubble to press against the retina and help it heal properly. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions based on the location of your retinal condition.
