Golcoma hai kya kare

Hello Samares Chandra Das Ji,

Thank you for your question. A retina scan is an important step in evaluating the health of the back of your eye, especially for conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, or glaucoma.

What Is a Retina Scan?

A retina scan or retinal imaging is a painless, non-invasive test that captures detailed images of your retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye). It helps your eye doctor detect early signs of:

• Diabetic eye disease

• Retinal tears or detachment

• Macular issues

• Age-related degeneration

• Optic nerve damage

Where Can You Get a Retina Scan in Kolkata?

You can visit any reputed eye hospital or retina specialist in Kolkata. Some options include:

• Disha Eye Hospitals

• B B Eye Foundation

• Susrut Eye Foundation & Research Centre

• Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital

• Apollo Gleneagles Eye Department

Most of these centres offer OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and fundus photography, which are common retina scan methods.

Wishing you clear vision and healthy eyes! Let us know if you'd like help finding a retina specialist in Kolkata.
