Here at The Harley Street Eye Clinic, we offer rapid diagnosis in two ways. Firstly, we offer a photographic consultation for optometrists who provide the necessary scans. This involves the optometrist conducting and sending a non-invasive Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan to us via the photographic portal on our website. This enables us to provide a rapid opinion and information on the best course of action to take in your particular case.

If you have a retinal tear, laser treatment would be required in the first instance. The laser technique used creates tiny spots of ARGON laser around the tear. The tear is usually around 0.5mm in length and these laser spots circumscribe this area to create heat spots forming a scar around the tear. Effectively, the scarring seals the tear and prevents fluid from entering behind the retina. In this way, this treatment prevents retinal detachment.

Patients with vitreous haemorrhages and diabetes require careful surveillance because if the haemorrhage does not resolve on its own and it is left untreated for too long, the diabetes can affect the back of the eye starving the retina of oxygen, at which point it may be too late for adequate treatment to preserve eyesight.

A macular hole is a very treatable diagnosis. Macular hole repair involves a keyhole vitrectomy approach removing the jelly that is pulling on the retina/macula. A delicate membrane (the ILM or internal limiting membrane) situated around the hole which keeps it open is peeled away and a bubble of gas is placed on the macula to close the hole. The whole treatment takes approximately 40 minutes under local anaesthesia.
