Patient Questions
Helpful answers for patients preparing for retina consultation or follow-up care.
No matching questions found.
When should I see a retina specialist?
Book a retina consultation if you notice sudden floaters, flashes, blurred central vision, diabetes-related eye changes or new distortion in vision.
Do diabetic patients need regular retina checks?
Yes. Diabetes can affect the retina before symptoms appear, so regular retinal screening helps detect changes early.
What is an OCT scan?
OCT is a non-invasive scan that creates detailed cross-sectional images of the retina and macula.
Will retina imaging hurt?
Retina imaging is generally quick and comfortable. Some patients may need eye drops for a clearer view.
Can I drive after a retina visit?
If dilation drops are used, vision may remain blurred for a few hours. It is safer to bring an attendant or avoid driving immediately afterward.
What symptoms need urgent retina review?
Sudden flashes, many new floaters, a shadow or curtain in vision, or sudden vision loss should be checked urgently.
How often should follow-up happen?
Follow-up depends on your diagnosis, scan findings and treatment plan. The retina specialist will recommend the schedule.
