Dr. Jignesh Gala, founder of Crystal Clear Eye Clinic in Andheri West, is an internationally trained retina and vitreoretinal surgeon offering the full spectrum of retinal diagnosis, laser treatment, intravitreal injections, and vitreoretinal surgery — with experience spanning India, Singapore, and the United Kingdom and 25,000+ ophthalmic procedures performed.
From diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment to macular degeneration (ARMD), macular hole, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), this guide covers every modern retina treatment available in Mumbai — and what it costs.
What Is Retina Treatment?
The retina is the thin, light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye — often compared to the film in a camera — that captures images and transmits them to the brain via the optic nerve. When the retina is damaged by diabetes, ageing, injury, or detachment, retina treatment restores or preserves vision through laser, medication, or microsurgery.
Think of the retina as a camera’s film, charged with recording images and sending them to the brain. This delicate tissue is why retinal disease demands a dedicated specialist, not a general eye doctor.
Most retinal diseases progress silently. By the time vision blurs, damage may already be permanent — making early retinal evaluation the single most important step in protecting your sight.
Retina Treatments Offered by Dr. Jignesh Gala
1. Retinal Laser Treatment (Photocoagulation)
A non-surgical procedure using focused laser light to seal leaking blood vessels and retinal tears. It is a frontline treatment for diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion, and is far less invasive than surgery. Early laser treatment can be the difference between vision retention and blindness in diabetic eye disease.
2. Intravitreal Injections (Anti-VEGF)
Medication injected directly into the eye to treat wet ARMD, diabetic macular edema, and retinal vascular disease. A quick, in-clinic, vision-saving treatment.
3. Vitrectomy (Advanced Retina Surgery)
Microsurgical removal of the vitreous gel to repair retinal detachment, macular holes, severe diabetic retinopathy, and vitreous hemorrhage.
4. Scleral Buckling & Detachment Repair
Retinal detachment is an eye emergency. Urgent surgical repair reattaches the retina and prevents permanent vision loss.
5. ARMD & Macular Disorder Management
Advanced injection therapy and monitoring to slow age-related macular degeneration and preserve central vision.
6. Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Care
As an experienced ROP specialist, Dr. Gala provides early screening and treatment for at-risk premature infants.
