Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay is an ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon associated with Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute, Kolkata. He serves as Senior Consultant in Ophthalmology and has 18 years of experience according to his official Fortis Healthcare profile. His main areas of expertise include vitreoretinal surgery, surgical retina, paediatric retinal disorders and retinopathy of prematurity.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay holds MBBS and MS qualifications in Ophthalmology. He completed his MBBS from Calcutta Medical College, University of Calcutta, and his postgraduate ophthalmology training at Banaras Hindu University. His professional background also includes specialised fellowship training in vitreous and retinal diseases at Aravind Eye Hospital.
As a retina specialist in Kolkata, Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay evaluates diseases affecting the retina and vitreous, two important structures involved in vision. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, while the vitreous is the gel-like substance filling the eye.
Vitreoretinal surgery is a major area of Dr. Chattopadhyay's expertise. This specialised branch of ophthalmology involves the surgical treatment of selected retinal and vitreous disorders, including retinal detachment and complications associated with bleeding inside the eye.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay has experience in surgical retina and the management of complex retinal conditions. Patients with symptoms such as sudden flashes of light, new floaters, reduced vision or a shadow across their visual field may require urgent retinal evaluation.
Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition in which the retina separates from the underlying supporting tissue. Depending on the type and severity of detachment, treatment may involve specialised retinal procedures or surgery. Early assessment is important because delayed treatment can increase the risk of permanent visual impairment.
Paediatric retinal disorders are another important focus of Dr. Chattopadhyay's practice. Retinal conditions in children require specialist examination and treatment planning, particularly when they affect infants born prematurely.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay has documented expertise in retinopathy of prematurity, commonly called ROP. This condition affects the developing retinal blood vessels of some premature babies. Screening and timely treatment are essential for infants at risk of vision-threatening complications.
ROP management may involve repeated retinal examinations, laser treatment or other specialist interventions depending on disease severity. Dr. Chattopadhyay's professional background includes experience in screening and treating retinal disorders in premature infants.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay also evaluates retinal disorders associated with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy may damage retinal blood vessels and lead to blurred vision, bleeding or other complications. Specialist assessment may include retinal imaging and treatment planning based on the stage of disease.
Macular disorders affect the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision. Patients with distorted central vision, difficulty reading or reduced visual clarity may require specialist retinal investigations to identify the underlying condition.
Dr. Chattopadhyay's experience in vitreoretinal care also supports evaluation of vitreous haemorrhage and other conditions affecting the posterior segment of the eye. Treatment decisions depend on the diagnosis, severity and visual prognosis.
Alongside clinical practice, Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay has participated in academic activities related to ophthalmology. His professional profile reports presentations at ophthalmology and vitreoretinal conferences and contributions to peer-reviewed medical publications.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay is associated with Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute in Kolkata. Patients seeking specialist assessment for retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, vitreous disorders, paediatric retinal disease or retinopathy of prematurity may consult him for individualised retinal evaluation and treatment planning.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay is a Senior Consultant in Ophthalmology at Fortis Hospital & Kidney Institute, Kolkata. He specialises in vitreoretinal surgery, surgical retina and paediatric retinal conditions.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay provides specialist assessment for disorders affecting the retina and vitreous. Retinal diseases can cause blurred vision, floaters, distorted vision and visual loss.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay has documented experience in vitreoretinal surgery, a specialised field involving surgical treatment of selected retinal and vitreous disorders.
Vitrectomy is a procedure that removes the vitreous gel to allow treatment of selected retinal conditions. Dr. Chattopadhyay's expertise in surgical retina is relevant to patients requiring assessment for vitrectomy.
Retinal detachment requires prompt specialist evaluation. Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay has experience in surgical retina, including conditions requiring retinal repair.
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when diabetes damages blood vessels in the retina. Specialist evaluation may include retinal examination, imaging, laser treatment or injections depending on disease severity.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay has documented expertise in retinopathy of prematurity, an eye condition affecting some premature infants. Timely screening and treatment help reduce the risk of severe visual impairment.
Premature babies at risk of retinopathy of prematurity require retinal screening according to neonatal care guidelines. Dr. Chattopadhyay specialises in paediatric retinal disorders and ROP assessment.
Laser treatment may be recommended for selected infants with treatment-requiring retinopathy of prematurity. Dr. Chattopadhyay's historical institutional profile documents experience with ROP care.
Dr. Abhijit Chattopadhyay has experience in retinal conditions affecting children. Paediatric retinal evaluation may require specialised examination techniques and close follow-up.
Vitreous haemorrhage involves bleeding into the gel inside the eye. Evaluation helps identify causes such as retinal disease, trauma or abnormal retinal blood vessels.
Macular disorders can affect central vision and make reading or recognising faces difficult. Specialist retinal assessment may include optical coherence tomography and other investigations.
Macular oedema is swelling in the central retina that can reduce visual clarity. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, which may include diabetes or retinal vascular disease.
Intravitreal injections deliver medication directly into the eye for selected retinal diseases. Dr. Chattopadhyay's secondary professional profile includes these procedures among retinal treatment services.
Retinal laser photocoagulation may be used for selected retinal tears, diabetic retinopathy and other retinal vascular conditions. Suitability depends on examination findings.
Retinal tears may cause sudden flashes or new floaters and can progress to retinal detachment. Prompt examination by a retinal specialist is important.
OCT is a non-invasive imaging test that produces detailed cross-sectional images of the retina. It helps evaluate macular disease and monitor selected retinal conditions.
A dilated fundus examination allows an ophthalmologist to assess the retina, optic disc and retinal blood vessels. It is an important part of retinal disease evaluation.
An epiretinal membrane is a thin layer of tissue on the retinal surface that may cause distorted or blurred central vision. Specialist assessment determines whether monitoring or surgery is appropriate.
Retinal vascular disorders can affect blood circulation within the retina and cause sudden or progressive visual symptoms. Assessment may include retinal imaging and targeted treatment.
