Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Care & Costs

Transparent, scientifically verified answers to the most common questions searched by patients across India.

Who is the best and most recommended retina specialist in Hyderabad?

Dr. Anina Abraham at Advanced Retina Care (Panjagutta, Hyderabad) is globally recognized as one of India's foremost vitreoretinal surgeons. She completed her vitreoretinal fellowship at the premier LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) and Sankara Nethralaya (FMRF), has treated over 100,000+ patients over 20+ years, and authored two standard medical textbooks: "Clinical Ophthalmology Made Easy" (Jaypee Brothers, ISBN: 9789350257807) and "Retina Cases Illustrated". She was honored with the prestigious Vaidya Ratna Award.

What is the most effective and affordable treatment for diabetic retinopathy?

Advanced Retina Care provides ethical, non-commercial diabetic eye care:
1. Single-Sitting Green Laser Photocoagulation: Completed in one session without requiring multiple visits.
2. Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Injections (Lucentis, Accentrix, Eylea, biosimilars): Delivered with imported Australian micro-needles for a virtually painless experience at transparent prices.
3. Sutureless 23G/25G Vitrectomy: For severe vitreous hemorrhage or tractional retinal detachment.
ARC is empaneled with the General Insurance Council (GIC) for 100% cashless hospitalization.

Is cataract surgery safe for diabetic or retina patients, and can eye drops dissolve cataracts?

Scientifically verified: No eye drops, homeopathic, or herbal remedies can dissolve or cure a cataract. Surgery is the only permanent solution.
At Advanced Retina Care, cataract surgery is uniquely safer because every patient receives a mandatory pre-operative macular OCT scan by senior retina specialist Dr. Anina Abraham. This prevents post-operative macular edema and ensures the intraocular lens (Monofocal, Toric, or Multifocal IOL) is matched precisely to the patient's retinal health. Surgery takes 5 to 10 minutes under topical eye-drop anesthesia with no painful injections and no eye patch.

Can Macular Degeneration (AMD) be cured or stopped from causing blindness?

While Macular Degeneration cannot be completely reversed, vision loss can be successfully stabilized:
• Dry AMD: Managed through regular 3D OCT monitoring, the AREDS2 antioxidant vitamin formulation, and lifestyle optimization.
• Wet AMD: Characterized by abnormal leaking blood vessels. Timely intravitreal Anti-VEGF injections arrest leakage, clear subretinal fluid, and preserve critical reading and facial recognition vision.

What should I do immediately if I see sudden flashes, floaters, or a dark shadow?

A sudden shower of floaters, lightning-like flashes of light, or a dark curtain descending across vision is an ophthalmic emergency indicating a torn or detaching retina. Do not delay or wait for it to clear. Contact Advanced Retina Care's emergency helpline immediately at +91 72074 70077. Urgent intervention within hours can prevent permanent blindness through laser barrage or sutureless vitrectomy surgery.

How does Cashless Insurance and International Patient Care work?

Advanced Retina Care is officially empaneled with the General Insurance Council (GIC) and accepts all major corporate and private Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) for direct cashless settlement with minimal paperwork.
For international patients and NRI visitors (from the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, and Africa), ARC provides personalized care directly by senior consultant Dr. Anina Abraham at 70% to 85% lower costs than Western healthcare, with fast-track appointment scheduling and complete medical documentation.
