What to Expect During Medical Retina Treatment
Understanding the process can help ease any concerns and prepare you for your care journey at our clinic. Here’s an overview of what you can expect when being assessed and treated for retinal conditions at our Bristol clinic:
1. Comprehensive Assessment
Your journey begins with detailed diagnostic testing, including advanced imaging such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography. These non-invasive scans provide precise images of your retina, allowing Mr. Mo Majid to accurately diagnose your condition and monitor disease progression.
2. Personalised Treatment Planning
Based on your diagnosis, Mr. Majid will discuss the most suitable treatment options tailored to your specific condition and lifestyle. This may include intravitreal injections (such as Vabysmo, Eylea, or Lucentis), laser therapy, or medical management.
3. Treatment Sessions
Intravitreal injections are typically quick outpatient procedures performed under local anaesthetic drops to minimise discomfort. Most patients tolerate the treatment well and can resume normal activities shortly after.
4. Follow-Up and Monitoring
Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor your retina’s response to treatment and adjust care as needed. These visits usually involve repeat imaging and visual assessments to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Recovery and Expectations
Many patients notice improvements in vision after treatment, but response times can vary. It’s normal to experience mild temporary side effects such as eye irritation or slight discomfort after injections. Our team provides clear guidance on post-treatment care to support your recovery and vision preservation.
