Retinal diseases can significantly impair vision and even lead to complete loss of vision if the pathology is not detected in time. Modern ophthalmology offers effective methods of diagnosis and treatment that allow you to preserve vision and avoid serious complications. At the Oxford Medical Medical Center in Kyiv, patients are provided with comprehensive care: from accurate diagnostics to advanced methods of treating retinal diseases.
If you are concerned about vision problems or are at risk (for example, you have diabetes, hypertension, or age-related macular degeneration), do not postpone a visit to an ophthalmologist. Make an appointment for a consultation at the Oxford Medical Clinic at a time convenient for you - we will take care of the health of your eyes.
Retinal diseases in the early stages are often painless and unnoticeable.
However, there are symptoms that should not be ignored.
Such complaints may indicate serious retinal pathologies, including dystrophy, thrombosis or detachment, and require immediate consultation with an ophthalmologist:
the appearance of "flies", flashes of light or shadows before the eyes
distortion of lines and contours of objects
decreased visual acuity
the appearance of a "veil" or darkening in the field of vision
loss of central or peripheral vision
difficulty focusing, blurred images
High-quality diagnostics are the basis of successful treatment. The Oxford Medical clinic in Kyiv uses modern ophthalmological techniques that allow you to accurately assess the condition of the retina.
These studies help to identify structural changes, assess the extent of damage and make an informed decision about further actions.
If you are interested in retinal diagnostics in Kyiv, make an appointment for a consultation - the earlier the problem is detected, the easier it is to eliminate it.
A comprehensive examination may include:
Fundus examination with assessment of blood vessels and retinal tissue.
Determining visual acuity.
Research of the boundaries of the visual field.
Measurement of intraocular pressure
Examination of the anterior segment of the eye.
For example, optical coherence tomography or angiography.
The retina can be affected for various reasons: due to age-related changes, vascular disorders, chronic diseases or injuries.
These conditions can remain unnoticed for a long time, but over time they significantly affect the quality of life. That is why regular examinations by an ophthalmologist are especially important for patients from risk groups.
The most common pathologies that require treatment include:
Progressive thinning and disruption of the structure of retinal tissue. Often develops against the background of myopia, age-related changes, or hereditary factors.
A critical condition in which the retina separates from the choroid. In the case of retinal detachment, surgery is necessary as soon as possible. Without treatment, complete loss of vision is possible.
Impaired blood supply, which is accompanied by tissue ischemia and edema.
Damage to the central area of the retina (macula), which impairs the ability to see fine details
A complication of diabetes that causes damage to the retinal vessels and vision impairment.
If a retinal detachment is diagnosed, treatment should be organized urgently to minimize the risk of irreversible vision loss.
Depending on the diagnosis, stage of the disease, and the patient's general condition, different treatment methods may be used.
In the early stages or with a stable course of chronic forms, drug treatment is possible, which includes:
Such treatment is aimed at stabilizing the patient's condition, preventing complications and maintaining the existing level of vision.
In case of disease progression or threat of vision loss, surgical intervention is indicated. The most common methods include:
If retinal detachment is diagnosed, treatment should be organized urgently to minimize the risk of irreversible vision loss.
Patients choose the Oxford Medical clinic in Kyiv due to the high level of service, accurate diagnostics and responsible attitude to treatment. We help preserve your vision by providing comprehensive support — from accurate diagnosis to drawing up an optimal treatment plan.
The cost of retinal treatment depends on many factors: the complexity of the diagnosis, the extent of the necessary diagnostics, the need for medical or surgical intervention. Patients are often interested in the cost of retinal surgery, as well as how much laser coagulation of the retina costs. It should be noted that the final amount is determined by the doctor who assesses the complexity of the disease. You can preliminarily familiarize yourself with the prices in the ophthalmology department here.
Preserving your vision — is quite possible. Make an appointment at the Oxford Medical clinic at a time convenient for you and receive high-quality ophthalmological care in Kyiv.
We are often asked:
It is impossible to completely restore the retina if its nerve cells are damaged. However, modern treatment methods can stop the progression of the disease, preserve vision and improve its quality, especially if you seek medical attention in a timely manner.
The treatment method depends on the type and stage of the disease. Medications, intravitreal injections, laser therapy, or surgery may be used. The treatment tactics are determined by the ophthalmologist after an examination.
Complete retinal replacement is not possible. In rare cases, experimental methods, including transplantation of individual layers or cells, are used. Such interventions have limited use and do not guarantee complete restoration of vision.
Blood circulation in the retina can be improved with the help of vascular medications, blood pressure control, glycemia, smoking cessation, healthy nutrition, and regular follow-up with an ophthalmologist.
The retina is strengthened by using antioxidants, vitamins, vascular medications, and laser techniques in case of tears or dystrophies. Control of concomitant diseases also plays an important role.
