Conditions Dr. Moustafa Abu Afar Helps Assess and Treat

Dr. Moustafa Abu Afar helps assess and follow up on several conditions related to the retina and vitreous, and the doctor determines the suitable plan after medical examination.

Retina and Vitreous Surgeries

Some retina and vitreous conditions require careful assessment to determine whether medical follow-up or a surgical procedure is the most suitable option. The doctor determines the appropriate decision based on the tests and the severity of the condition.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes may affect the small blood vessels in the retina, so the patient needs regular follow-up to assess how diabetes affects the eye and to determine the suitable plan at the right time.

Retinal Vascular Diseases

These include some conditions that affect the blood vessels inside the retina and may appear as weak or blurred vision, or changes that require specialized examination to identify the cause and follow-up plan.

Macular Degeneration in the Retina

Assessing macular degeneration helps understand how the condition affects central vision, especially when there is difficulty reading or a noticeable change in the clarity of central vision.

Retina and Vitreous Examination

A retina and vitreous examination helps assess the health of the back part of the eye, especially in patients with diabetes, sudden or gradual vision weakness, or a medical history that requires follow-up.

Medical note: The right treatment cannot be determined based on symptoms alone. The doctor determines the plan after examination and medical assessment.
