Our expert retina team has a combined 35 years of experience in vitreoretinal surgery for both children and adults. We treat various conditions, including eye floaters, diabetic retinal diseases, epi retinal membrane, and retinal detachment.
Early diagnosis is key for managing epi retinal membrane issues. If you experience retinal problems, contact our team to discuss your treatment options.
The retina is a delicate layer of cells at the back of the eye that captures light and sends signals to the brain, enabling sight. Normally, the retina is attached to the eye wall. Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the eye wall, similar to wallpaper peeling off. This can cause blindness or permanent vision loss due to the interruption of blood and oxygen supply.
Yes, retinal detachment usually requires immediate treatment. Retinal detachment with new symptoms and signs of peripheral vision loss, which can affect central vision, may need same-day surgery. This is known as macula-sparing or macula-on retinal detachment.
The treatment depends on the type of retinal detachment and the patient's age. Our retina specialist will discuss the most suitable treatment options with you during your consultation, including whether surgery is required.

Some patients might not immediately notice the loss of central or peripheral vision, especially if it occurs in the non-dominant eye.
The key to avoiding blindness from retinal detachment is early diagnosis and proper treatment by an eye surgeon. Treatment is most effective when the detachment is limited to the peripheral retina, before the central vision is affected (macula-sparing or macula-on retinal detachment). Once the central vision is involved, it is challenging to restore vision completely to normal.
It is crucial to have your eyes examined by a retinal surgeon within 24 hours after experiencing any sudden loss or change in vision.
While retinal detachment surgery carries some risks, the risks of leaving retinal detachment untreated are far greater, potentially leading to irreversible and complete vision loss. The possible risks associated with retinal detachment surgery include:
The success rate of retinal detachment surgery depends on several factors, including the type and duration of the detachment. For the common type of retinal detachment (Rhegmatogenous), a UK study involving 4231 patients conducted by a large group of vitreoretinal surgeons demonstrated a retinal reattachment success rate of at least 85-88%. At Optimal Vision Clinic, our success rate is over 90% with a 0% infection rate.
I had a great experience performing my laser eye surgery at Optimal Vision Clinic. All the staffs are very helpful, co-operative and supportive throughout the treatment process. On the first call,
they explained the entire procedure in details and gave necessary instructions at every stage. My eye surgeon made me feel comfortable and relaxed before and during
the procedure. Aftercare was done properly with a thorough check-up of my eyes. I would like to recommend this clinic to everyone!
Very happy and impressed with the highly professional care and service I’ve received at the Optimal Vision clinic. Dr Mani is
so professional, and he explained everything about Laser surgery and answered all my questions. The surgery was quick and almost completely painless. My eyes have healed
perfectly and quickly. I would highly recommend this clinic.
My husband had been experiencing discomfort in his left eye since July and was seen by various doctors/consultants even at the Queen Mary’s hospital but no abnormalities were found.
This week Dr. Mani discovered the fault which happened to be Retina detachment with three tears.
Dr. Mani’s preciseness and his perfectionist attitude to attention to details,
detected the source of the main issue and saved my husband’s eye. We feel utterly grateful and can not recommend him enough for his excellence.
