What is retina
examination
The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye responsible for processing what we see. In patients with conditions like diabetes, hypertension, raised cholesterol, or thyroid disease, it’s typically one of the first areas of the body to show signs of damage, often before any symptoms are felt.
A dilated examination allows us to assess retinal health in detail and catch any changes early, before they result in permanent vision loss.

Treatment
The examination begins with dilating eye drops to allow a detailed view of the retina and surrounding areas. Dr. Parekh personally conducts the examination and will walk you through the diagnosis at the end of the visit, along with any next steps as needed.

Who should get a retinal examination?
We particularly recommend this for anyone diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension, raised cholesterol, thyroid disease, or glaucoma, as well as those with a family history of retinal disease. It is also advisable for anyone experiencing sudden changes in vision, new floaters, or flashes of light – all of which should be evaluated promptly.
