Discover the best retinal detachment treatment options in India, with MediBridge Healthcare connecting you to world-class care. Learn about costs, treatments, and packages designed for Kenyan patients.
What Is Retinal Detachment?
Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition where the retina, a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye, pulls away from the vitreous gel and the eye's wall. If left untreated, retinal detachment can lead to vision loss or even blindness.
Why Kenyan Patients Choose India for Retinal Detachment Treatment
Kenyan patients seeking retinal detachment treatment often choose India due to its high-quality medical care, state-of-the-art facilities, and affordable prices. With MediBridge Healthcare, you can access world-class treatment in India, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.
Treatment Options Available in India
MediBridge Healthcare offers three effective treatment options for retinal detachment in India:
- Vitrectomy (Pars Plana Vitrectomy): A surgical procedure where the eye's vitreous gel is removed to access the retina. The surgeon reattaches the retina and replaces the gel with a gas bubble or silicone oil.
- Scleral Buckling: A surgical procedure to repair retinal detachment by placing a silicone band (buckle) around the eye to gently push the eye wall toward the detached retina, helping it reattach.
- Pneumatic Retinopexy: A minimally invasive procedure where a gas bubble is injected into the eye to push the detached retina back into place. A freezing probe (cryopexy) or laser is then used to seal the retinal tear.
