About RETINAL DETACHMENT
Connecting you with India’s leading specialists in these medical fields
Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition where the retina pulls away from the back of the eye.
• Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment
• Tractional Retinal Detachment (diabetic-related)
• Exudative Retinal Detachment
• Retinal Tears or Holes
• Pediatric Retinal Detachment
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.
- Effective for complex cases – works well for large or recurrent retinal detachments.
- Precise retinal access – allows direct treatment of retinal tears, bleeding, or scarring.
- Can treat multiple eye problems – useful for diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and eye infections too.
- May cause cataracts – especially in older patients.
- Vision recovery can take time – especially if gas/oil is used.
- Requires strict post-op positioning – lying face down for days may be uncomfortable.
- In India (USD): $2,000 – $3,500
- In Kenyan Shillings (KES): KSh 260,000 – KSh 455,000
Costs vary based on hospital, lens implants, and type of anesthesia.
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.
- Long-standing success rate – especially effective for single tear detachments.
- Preserves the natural lens – lower risk of cataract formation compared to vitrectomy.
- Minimally invasive to the inner eye – retina is not directly entered.
- Not suitable for all detachments – less effective in complex or large retinal detachments.
- Mild vision distortion – can alter the shape of the eye slightly, affecting focus.
- Post-op discomfort – swelling, double vision, or soreness may occur initially.
- In India (USD): $1,500 – $2,500
- In Kenyan Shillings (KES): KSh 195,000 – KSh 325,000
Cost may vary depending on hospital, surgeon, and any combined procedures (e.g., cryotherapy).
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.
- Quick outpatient procedure – typically done under local anesthesia.
- Minimally invasive – no incisions or sutures required.
- Lower cost – more affordable than vitrectomy or scleral buckling.
- Strict head positioning needed – patient must keep their head in a specific position for days.
- Less effective for complex detachments – not ideal for multiple or large tears.
- Risk of recurrence – higher chance of redetachment than other methods.
- In India (USD): $700 – $1,200
- In Kenyan Shillings (KES): KSh 91,000 – KSh 156,000
Usually recommended for early or uncomplicated retinal detachments.
