Conditions Dr. Abdullah Al-Qahtani Helps Assess and Treat
Dr. Abdullah Al-Qahtani helps assess and treat a number of conditions related to the retina and vitreous. The doctor determines the appropriate plan after examination and medical imaging when needed.
Retinal and Vitreous Diseases
This includes assessing changes affecting the back of the eye, such as blurred vision, floaters, flashes, or sudden changes in eyesight, and determining whether specialized follow-up or treatment is required.
Diabetic Retinopathy
A retina examination helps monitor the effect of diabetes on the blood vessels and the center of vision and determine whether the condition requires periodic follow-up, laser treatment, injections, or another procedure.
Retinal Detachment and Retinal Tears
Sudden symptoms such as a curtain appearing in the field of vision or an increase in floaters and flashes require prompt assessment. The doctor determines the appropriate type of intervention according to the location of the problem and the extent to which it affects the retina.
Retinal Injections
Injections may be part of the treatment plan for certain cases involving leakage, bleeding, or swelling in the center of vision. The doctor only determines whether injections are needed after examining and imaging the retina.
Vitreous Surgery
Some cases involving bleeding inside the eye, traction on the retina, or advanced complications may require surgical assessment of the vitreous. The doctor explains whether the procedure is suitable and the expected steps after diagnosis.
Eye and Retina Examination
An eye examination helps assess visual acuity and the health of different parts of the eye. It may be followed by a fundus examination or retinal imaging when symptoms or chronic conditions such as diabetes are present.
Medical Note: The appropriate treatment cannot be determined based on symptoms alone. The doctor determines the plan after examination and medical evaluation.
