The retina is the light-sensitive neural tissue lining the inner surface of the eye — a structure of extraordinary complexity and clinical importance whose integrity is essential for every aspect of visual function. Diseases affecting the retina and vitreous represent some of the most vision-threatening conditions in ophthalmology — from the emergency of acute retinal detachment and the progressive threat of diabetic retinopathy through the irreversible central vision loss of age-related macular degeneration to the rare and complex vitreoretinal conditions that demand the highest levels of subspecialty surgical expertise and the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technology available.
Moolchand Hospital, recognised as one of the best vitreoretinal care hospitals in Delhi, provides a comprehensive Vitreoretinal Care programme — a dedicated, specialist service delivered by experienced vitreoretinal surgeons and retina specialists offering the full spectrum of diagnostic, medical and surgical vitreoretinal care for adults and children. Located near Lajpat Nagar, Moolchand Eye Institute's Vitreoretinal Care programme manages the complete spectrum of retinal and vitreous conditions — from emergency retinal detachment repair and proliferative diabetic retinopathy surgery through macular hole and epiretinal membrane vitrectomy, intravitreal injection therapy for neovascular AMD and diabetic macular oedema to retinopathy of prematurity treatment and complex inherited retinal disease management.
As a leading multi super speciality hospital in Delhi with over 60 years of ophthalmic excellence, Moolchand's Vitreoretinal Care programme is equipped with state-of-the-art vitreoretinal surgical systems, wide-field retinal imaging including fundus photography and optical coherence tomography, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, ultrasound B-scan and electrophysiology — enabling precise diagnosis, accurate disease monitoring and optimal surgical and medical treatment planning for every vitreoretinal patient. The programme works in seamless collaboration with the glaucoma, paediatric ophthalmology, neuro-ophthalmology and low vision rehabilitation services — ensuring that every patient with a retinal condition receives integrated, coordinated and clinically excellent eye care.
Moolchand Care Pathways for vitreoretinal care are protocol-driven, reflective of international retinal society guidelines and designed to ensure consistently excellent, ethically guided and patient-centred vitreoretinal care — guided always by one principle: we do what is right for you.
