Hello Payalben Jagdishbhai Machhi Ji,

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:
