What is Retina ?
The retina, also called “Aankh ka parda”, is the innermost layer of the eye. It is the light sensitive layer of the eye. If something goes wrong here, this information doesn’t reach the brain and we cannot see - in other words, we lose our vision.
Retina & Vitreous
The retina, also called “Aankh ka parda”, is the innermost layer of the eye. It is made up of millions of light-sensitive cells (rods and cones) and other nerve cells. The retina converts light entering the eye into neural signals and sends this information to the brain via the Optic Nerve, allowing us to see.
The Vitreo-retinal Service at Shroff Eye Centre offers decades of expertise in the diagnostics, medical retina and surgical retina. Our retina specialists are amongst the best in the country and are aided by the latest equipment to help treat your retina condition.

Can
diabetic retinopathy
be treated?
Yes, Diabetic retinopathy is very much treatable when diagnosed at the right time. Management involves investigations such as Fluorescein angiography (FFA) and Optical coherence tomography (OCT) followed by diabetic retinopathy treatment.
At Shroff Eye Centre, we have a dedicated team of Vitreo-Retinal specialists committed to providing the best possible care to protect your vision.
Prevention of
Diabetic Retinopathy
It is a preventable condition.
If you’re diagnosed with diabetes, it is important to remember to:
Get regular complete eye exams including retina check-up once a year or more frequently if advised. EARLY DETECTION of diabetic retinopathy is the best protection against sight loss. This allows us to begin treatment before sight is affected.
Control blood sugar levels.
Control associated conditions like hypertension, increased blood lipids & cholesterol and renal (kidney) disease.
Exercise regularly.
Not miss follow up visits with your eye doctor.
Watch out for any changes in vision.
However, good control in itself does not guarantee freedom from diabetic retinopathy. This is why regular eye exams are a must for diabetics.
Frequently
asked questions
Why does Diabetic Retinopathy occur?
DIABETES MELLITUS impairs the body’s ability to use and regulate blood sugar (glucose). High sugar levels cause changes in the blood vessels of many organs of the body including the eye, particularly in the retina. The weakened blood vessels may leak fluid or blood- damaging the retina and can lead to severe vision loss or even blindness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the retina?
The retina, also called “Aankh ka parda”, is the innermost layer of the eye. It is made up of millions of light-sensitive cells (rods and cones) and other nerve cells. The retina converts light entering the eye into neural signals and sends this information to the brain via the Optic Nerve, allowing us to see. If something goes wrong here, this information doesn’t reach the brain and we cannot see - in other words we lose our vision.
Why is the retina so important? What happens when the retina gets damaged?
The retina is a very delicate and fine layer at the back of the eye which is derived from neural tissue during embryonic development. Just like the brain, it cannot regenerate. The main function of the retina is to convert the light that enters the eye to signals that the brain can process and interpret.
Like in a camera there is a lens and a sensor at the back; similarly in the eye, there is a lens and the retina at the back (which functions like the sensor). If the sensor is damaged, the photo won’t be clear –similarly in the eye, if the retina gets damaged, no matter if the lens is changed, the image that is seen will not be clear. This is why the retina is very important for our vision and it is important to keep it healthy.
How will you know if you have a retina problem?
Many retinal diseases share some common signs and symptoms. If you experience any of these, please visit a retina specialist immediately. These may include:
- Sudden appearance of flashes and floaters
- Seeing floating cobwebs or floaters in your vision
- Sudden blurry vision
- Distorted vision (straight lines look wavy)
