Eye Ischemia Treatment at Arka Retina & Uvea Centre

Expert Care for Eye Ischemia and Eye Stroke

At Arka Retina & Uvea Centre, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of eye ischemia, a serious condition caused by reduced blood flow to the eye, often referred to as an eye stroke. With advanced diagnostic tools and a team of experienced specialists, we provide comprehensive care to restore blood flow, protect vision, and improve outcomes.

What is Eye Ischemia?

Eye ischemia occurs when the blood supply to the eye is compromised, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. This condition can result from:

• Retinal Artery Occlusion (RAO): Blockage of the central retinal artery or its branches.
• Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (ION): Damage to the optic nerve due to poor blood supply.
• Ocular Ischemic Syndrome (OIS): Chronic reduced blood flow to the eye, often linked to carotid artery disease.

Symptoms of Eye Ischemia:

• Sudden vision loss or blurriness
• Eye pain or discomfort
• Reduced field of vision
• Transient visual disturbances (temporary vision loss)

Prompt medical attention is essential to prevent permanent vision damage.

Advanced Diagnostics for Eye Ischemia

At Arka Retina & Uvea Centre, we use cutting-edge technology to diagnose and monitor eye ischemia accurately:

• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Visualizes retinal layers and detects swelling or damage.
• Fundus Photography: Captures detailed images of the retina to identify blockages.
• Fluorescein Angiography (FFA): Tracks blood flow in the retinal vessels.
• Doppler Ultrasound: Assesses blood flow in the carotid arteries and ocular vessels.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Our approach to treating eye ischemia focuses on restoring blood flow, managing the underlying cause, and preventing further damage.

1. Emergency Interventions

• Ocular Massage: May dislodge a clot causing retinal artery occlusion.
• Anterior Chamber Paracentesis: Reduces intraocular pressure to improve blood flow.
• Intravenous Thrombolysis: In selected cases, clot-dissolving drugs may be administered.

2. Medications

• Anti-Platelet or Anticoagulant Therapy: To prevent further clot formation.
• Intraocular Pressure-Lowering Drugs: For cases linked to glaucoma or increased eye pressure.

3. Laser and Surgical Procedures

• Laser Retinal Therapy: To treat ischemic complications, such as neovascularization.
• Carotid Artery Surgery (in collaboration): For patients with OIS caused by carotid artery disease.

4. Systemic Management

We work closely with cardiologists, neurologists, and other specialists to address systemic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or atherosclerosis, which often contribute to eye ischemia.
