Impressive Surgery Completed by TTH Team

Tree Top Hospitals Ophthalmology department successfully performed an Epiretinal Membrane Peeling with Silicone Oil removal for the first time in the Maldives. This surgery was performed on a 50-year-old female patient Ms. Samsadha Abbas who was suffering from uncontrolled diabetes.
 
Samsadha Abbas noted a long history of eye pain and difficulty due to having to travel for treatment. Samsadha had an epimacular membrane on the retina with silicone oil in the eye from her previous retinal surgery done in India. This surgery was performed because silicone oil increases the eye pressure and causes severe pain in the eye for the patient, and the epiretinal membrane causes blurring of vision in the eye.

Samsadha Abbas has been traveling abroad for her treatment of her eye condition and shares with us the convenience of not having to travel abroad to get the surgery and being able to stay close to her family to get the treatment she requires. Samsadha Abbas “After my second surgery the pain in my eye became unbearable, the opportunity to do this surgery in male’ was extremely comforting” She conveys her gratitude to the Tree Top Hospital Ophthalmology team and looks forward to her recovery journey here at Tree Top Hospital.
