What Types of Retina Surgery Are Available in Delhi?
Save Sight Centre offers the full range of vitreoretinal surgery in Delhi, from minimally invasive injections to complex reattachment procedures.
Vitrectomy (Surgical)
The vitreous gel pulling on the retina is removed and replaced with gas, air, or silicone oil, allowing the retina to settle back into place. Best for complex or advanced detachment.
Scleral Buckling (Surgical)
A silicone band is placed around the outer wall of the eye to relieve traction and support the detached retina from outside. Best for a clear, well-defined tear.
Pneumatic Retinopexy
A small gas bubble is injected to push the detached retina back into position, followed by laser or freezing to seal the tear. Best for small, uncomplicated detachments.
Laser Photocoagulation
PRP laser slows abnormal blood vessel growth in diabetic retinopathy, while focal laser seals specific retinal leaks causing swelling.
Intravitreal Injections
Anti-VEGF medicines or steroids are injected directly into the eye to control swelling and abnormal vessels. Best for wet AMD, diabetic macular edema, vein occlusion.
Which Eye Conditions Usually Require Retina Surgery?
Not every retinal problem needs surgery immediately, but these are the conditions our retina specialists in Delhi treat most often.
Retinal Detachment
A medical emergency where the retina separates from its blood supply; needs urgent surgery to prevent permanent vision loss.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Long-term high blood sugar damages retinal blood vessels, sometimes progressing to bleeding or tractional detachment.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Wet AMD causes abnormal vessels to leak under the macula and is managed with regular intravitreal injections.
Macular Hole & Epiretinal Membrane
Scar tissue or a hole in the macula distorts central vision and usually needs a vitrectomy to repair.
Retinal Vein Occlusion
A blocked retinal vein causes sudden swelling or bleeding, treated with injections and, at times, laser.
Vitreous Hemorrhage
Bleeding into the vitreous gel blurs vision suddenly and may require vitrectomy if it does not clear on its own.
What Happens Before, During and After Retina Surgery?
Retina Evaluation
Dr. Rajeev Jain examines your retina with dilated fundus exam, OCT and, if needed, B-scan or FFA imaging to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment Planning
Based on the condition and severity, you're advised the most suitable option — injection, laser, or a specific type of surgery — along with cost and TPA guidance.
Day of Surgery
Most retina procedures are done under local or regional anesthesia on a day-care or short-stay basis, depending on complexity.
Recovery & Positioning
You may be advised specific head positioning if a gas bubble was used, along with prescribed eye drops to control inflammation and infection risk.
Follow-Up Monitoring
Regular OCT-based follow-ups track retinal healing and guide whether further injections or a silicone oil removal surgery are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Save Sight Centre, retina surgery starts at ₹40,000 per eye, intravitreal injections start at ₹15,000 per injection, and laser treatments are priced at ₹4,000 per eye. The exact cost depends on the type of retinal condition, the technique used, and whether both eyes need treatment.

Recovery varies by procedure. Intravitreal injections need almost no downtime, pneumatic retinopexy patients recover within a week, and vitrectomy or scleral buckling patients typically need two to four weeks for full visual recovery.
Sudden flashes of light, a sharp rise in floaters, a dark curtain or shadow across your vision, or sudden blurring and distortion of straight lines are all warning signs. These need same-day evaluation.
Retina surgery is a medically necessary procedure and is usually covered by health insurance and TPA networks, subject to your policy terms. Save Sight Centre works with major TPAs and insurance providers in Delhi.
Vitrectomy removes the vitreous gel from inside the eye to relieve traction on the retina and is used for complex or advanced detachments, while scleral buckling places a silicone band on the outside of the eye to support the retina.
