Dr. Sangeeta Roy is a Consultant Ophthalmologist associated with Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute (FHKI), Kolkata. She specialises in Ophthalmology, with experience in medical and surgical retina care. Her clinical field focuses on the assessment and management of eye conditions affecting the retina and vision.
Dr. Sangeeta Roy holds an MBBS degree, an MD in Ophthalmology and a Fellowship of the International College of Ophthalmology. According to her Fortis Healthcare profile, she has over 12 years of experience in medical and surgical retina care.
Retinal disorders can affect central vision, peripheral vision and the ability to perform everyday activities. Conditions relevant to retina practice include diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, macular disorders and other diseases affecting the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Appropriate diagnosis helps determine whether observation, medical treatment or surgical intervention may be necessary.
Medical retina care may involve detailed eye examinations, retinal imaging, disease monitoring and assessment for treatments such as laser therapy or intravitreal injections. Surgical retina care involves evaluating retinal conditions that may require an operation. The specific procedures performed by Dr. Roy should be confirmed with her hospital.
Patients seeking an ophthalmologist in Kolkata for retinal symptoms or specialist eye assessment can enquire about consultation with Dr. Sangeeta Roy at Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute. Early assessment of sudden vision changes, flashes, new floaters or a shadow across vision is important because some retinal conditions require urgent treatment.
Vitreoretinal consultation focuses on diseases affecting the retina and vitreous gel inside the eye. Assessment may include a dilated retinal examination, imaging and evaluation of visual symptoms. Dr. Sangeeta Roy is identified as a vitreoretinal consultant, with experience in both medical and surgical retina care.
Diabetic retinopathy develops when diabetes damages small blood vessels in the retina. Assessment includes examining retinal changes, identifying abnormal blood vessels and evaluating macular swelling. Depending on disease severity, management may involve regular monitoring, laser treatment, intravitreal injections or surgery.
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the underlying supporting tissue. Symptoms may include flashes, sudden floaters or a shadow across vision. Urgent ophthalmological assessment is necessary because delayed treatment can result in permanent vision loss. Surgical treatment may be required depending on the condition.
Vitrectomy is a surgical procedure involving removal of the vitreous gel from the eye. It may be considered for retinal detachment, persistent vitreous haemorrhage, macular holes and selected retinal complications. A vitreoretinal specialist evaluates retinal findings and determines whether surgical treatment is appropriate.
Age-related macular degeneration affects the central retina and may cause blurred or distorted central vision. Evaluation includes retinal examination and imaging to identify disease type and severity. Treatment for selected cases may involve intravitreal injections, while other cases require monitoring and supportive care.
Macular edema occurs when fluid accumulates in the central retina, affecting detailed vision. It can be associated with diabetes, retinal vein occlusion or inflammatory conditions. Optical coherence tomography helps assess retinal swelling, while treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity.
Retinal vein occlusion occurs when blood flow through a retinal vein becomes obstructed. It may cause sudden blurred vision, retinal haemorrhage and macular swelling. Assessment involves retinal examination and imaging. Treatment may include intravitreal medicines and monitoring for complications.
Retinal laser treatment is used for selected retinal conditions, including certain diabetic retinal changes and retinal tears. The laser creates controlled treatment spots to manage abnormal blood vessels or help prevent progression of specific retinal problems. Suitability depends on the retinal diagnosis.
Intravitreal injections deliver medication directly into the vitreous cavity of the eye. They are commonly considered for conditions such as wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion-related swelling. Treatment selection and frequency depend on the diagnosis and response.
A macular hole is an opening in the central retina that can cause distorted or reduced central vision. Diagnosis generally involves a detailed retinal examination and optical coherence tomography. Some cases require vitrectomy surgery to improve the anatomical condition of the macula.
An epiretinal membrane is a thin layer of tissue that develops over the retinal surface and may distort vision. Mild cases may be monitored, while significant visual symptoms can require surgical evaluation. Optical coherence tomography helps determine membrane severity and its effects on the macula.
Vitreous haemorrhage occurs when blood enters the vitreous cavity, causing floaters, hazy vision or sudden visual loss. Possible causes include diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and other vascular abnormalities. Management depends on the cause, bleeding severity and presence of associated retinal damage.
A retinal tear develops when traction creates a break in the retina. Symptoms can include flashes of light and sudden new floaters. Prompt examination is important because some retinal tears may progress to retinal detachment. Laser treatment or cryotherapy may be considered for suitable cases.
Optical coherence tomography, commonly called OCT, is a non-invasive imaging technique that produces detailed cross-sectional images of the retina. It helps evaluate macular edema, macular holes, epiretinal membranes and other retinal disorders. OCT findings can support diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
Fundus examination allows an ophthalmologist to inspect the retina, optic disc and retinal blood vessels. Retinal photography may help document abnormalities and monitor changes over time. These assessments are useful for evaluating diabetic retinal disease, vascular conditions and other retinal disorders.
Surgical retina evaluation determines whether a retinal condition requires operative management. It may involve assessment of retinal detachment, macular disorders, vitreous haemorrhage and other complex abnormalities. Dr. Sangeeta Roy's professional profiles document experience in vitreoretinal surgery and specialist retinal care.
