Retinal Macoaneurysm Treatment in India
About Retinal Macoaneurysm
Key Highlights
-
Targeted treatment to seal a specific leaking blood vessel in the retina.Performed as an outpatient procedure, typically requiring no hospital admission.Aims to resolve macular edema and prevent further vision loss from bleeding or fluid leakage.Utilizes precise laser technology guided by advanced retinal imaging.Can help stabilize vision and prevent complications in affected eyes.
Who is this surgery for?
- Presence of a retinal macroaneurysm causing significant macular edema (fluid buildup in the central retina).
- Recurrent or persistent bleeding (hemorrhage) from the aneurysm threatening vision.
- Subretinal or intraretinal exudation (lipid deposits) compromising central vision.
- Progressive vision loss directly attributable to the macroaneurysm.
- Failure of the aneurysm to resolve spontaneously with management of underlying conditions like hypertension.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive eye examination including visual acuity testing and dilated fundus exam.
- Retinal imaging such as fluorescein angiography or optical coherence tomography (OCT) to precisely locate the aneurysm and assess leakage.
- Review and optimization of systemic conditions, particularly blood pressure control.
- Discussion of the procedure, benefits, and potential risks with the ophthalmologist.
- Arranging for transportation home after the procedure, as vision may be temporarily blurry.
- Informed consent process detailing the laser treatment plan.
Risks & possible complications
- Laser scar formation, which if close to the fovea (central vision point), can cause permanent central scotoma (blind spot).
- Inadvertent damage to surrounding healthy retinal tissue or blood vessels.
- Potential for hemorrhage during or immediately after the procedure.
- Incomplete closure of the aneurysm, requiring additional treatment sessions.
- Temporary or permanent increase in floaters or blurred vision.
- Rare risk of choroidal neovascularization (growth of abnormal new blood vessels).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Vision will be blurry immediately after the procedure due to the dilating drops and bright laser light; this improves over several hours.
- Mild discomfort or a headache is common; over-the-counter pain relievers can be used as advised.
- Use prescribed anti-inflammatory eye drops as directed to manage post-procedure inflammation.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or bending over for the first few days to minimize eye pressure.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for the ophthalmologist to monitor healing and treatment efficacy via OCT scans.
- Report any sudden increase in pain, vision loss, or new floaters immediately to your eye doctor.

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
