FAQ

Patient Questions

Helpful answers before a first visit.

When should I see a retina specialist?

Book a retina consultation for sudden floaters, flashes, blurred central vision, diabetes-related eye changes or new distortion in vision.

Do diabetic patients need regular retina checks?

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.

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.
