Blurred vision, flashes of light or sudden loss of visionThese symptoms can be signs of a serious condition of the retina. At our clinic in Marbella, the Dr. Ali NowrouziThe internationally recognised specialist performs high-precision interventions to treat retinal pathologies and help you recover your quality of vision.
The retina is a delicate layer of the eye responsible for transforming light into nerve signals that the brain interprets as images. When this structure is affected, serious vision disturbances occur that require immediate attention.
Among the most common diseases we treat are:
Retinal detachmentretinal detachment : separation of the retina causing sudden loss of vision.
Diabetic retinopathydamage caused by diabetes to the blood vessels of the retina.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)affects central vision.
Epiretinal membraneretinal tissue formation on the retina that distorts vision.
Macular hole y macular oedemaalterations that directly affect the macula.
Accurate diagnosis is made with a OCT of retina and macula, which obtains high-resolution images of the retinal layers, and a digital retinography for the monitoring of vascular and degenerative pathologies.
Some of the most common symptoms that indicate a problem in the retina are:
Blurred or distorted vision.
Flashes of light (photopsias).
Dark spots (myodesopsia or "floaters").
Sudden loss of vision in one eye.
Difficulty reading or seeing fine details.
Immediate assessment is essential at any sign. In our clinic, we carry out a complete diagnosis by means of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), advanced ocular biometry and other specific tests.
The most commonly used procedure is the vitrectomya minimally invasive surgical technique that allows access to the retina in order to:
Repairing a detachment.
Drawing blood in cases of vitreous haemorrhage.
Remove abnormal tissue such as a epiretinal membrane.
Correcting a macular hole.
The operation is carried out with local anaesthesiaThe duration of the programme is between 30 and 90 minutes and, in most cases, it is outpatient.
In addition, depending on the diagnosis, we can apply:
Retinal photocoagulation lasers.
Ocular cryotherapy to seal tears.
Postoperative periodInitial recovery usually lasts between 2 and 4 weeks.
In some cases, it is necessary to maintain a specific position for the first few days to promote healing.
Vision improves progressively, although it may take several months to stabilise completely.
We do a personalised follow-up with regular reviews.
The cost of the operation varies according to the complexity of the pathology and the type of intervention. In our clinic in Marbella we offer:
Free first consultation.
Detailed budget adapted to your case.
Flexible financing options.
In the retina clinic of Dr. Ali Nowrouzi, we use the most advanced imaging technologies to detect macular and retinal diseases at very early stages, even before significant symptoms appear.
Angio-OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography) is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows precise visualization of the retina and the blood circulation of the macula and choroid without the need for intravenous contrast injection. Thanks to this technology, we can study the ocular microcirculation in seconds, safely and comfortably for the patient.
Angio-OCT is especially useful for:
Thanks to the combination of high-resolution OCT and Angio-OCT, it is possible to analyze the retinal structure in detail, quantify drusen volume, and detect microscopic alterations that are not visible in a conventional examination.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is an innovative therapy based on the controlled application of specific wavelengths of red and infrared light to stimulate cellular function and improve retinal metabolism.
Various studies have shown that photobiomodulation can contribute to:
Photobiomodulation is generating great interest as a complementary treatment in early and intermediate stages of dry AMD, especially in patients with drusen and early macular alterations. Clinical studies have shown functional improvement and reduction in drusen volume after treatment.
Drusen represent one of the first signs of macular aging. Early detection using Angio-OCT allows for establishing personalized monitoring programs and evaluating innovative therapies such as photobiomodulation to slow disease progression.
OCT and Angio-OCT allow precise analysis of subretinal fluid accumulation and choroidal circulation in patients with CSC. These tools facilitate an accurate diagnosis and the selection of the most appropriate treatment for each case.
During years, age-related macular degeneration in its dry form —the most common— did not have a treatment capable of slowing its progression. Today, photobiomodulation has changed that landscape: it is the first treatment approved in Europe and the United States to improve vision in patients with dry AMD, and it is part of the advanced therapies that Dr. Ali Nowrouzi offers in his Marbella practice.
It is a gentle, painless, and non-surgical therapy that applies controlled light to stimulate and revitalize retinal cells. Its goal is clear: to help preserve central vision and slow the progression of the disease, acting in the stages where it can still make a difference.
What it can offer the patient:
Photobiomodulation is performed in the office itself, without the need for an operating room, anesthesia, or dilation. Each session is brief, the patient can resume normal life immediately, and it is compatible with other common conditions, such as cataracts.
The most important thing is early detection: the sooner the retina's condition is assessed, the greater the options to act before vision loss becomes irreversible. Therefore, in Dr. Nowrouzi's practice, macular study is part of the protocol from the first visit, with the most advanced diagnostic technology and the personalized follow-up that each case requires.
The combination of advanced diagnostic technologies such as Angio-OCT with innovative treatments like photobiomodulation allows us to offer personalized medicine, aimed at detecting diseases before they cause significant vision loss and preserving long-term vision.
At Dr. Ali Nowrouzi's practice, we perform a comprehensive retinal assessment using state-of-the-art equipment for the diagnosis and monitoring of AMD, macular drusen, central serous chorioretinopathy, and other complex retinal diseases.

No. Surgery is performed with local anaesthesia and it is outpatient in most cases. The patient feels no pain during the operation, and the postoperative period is usually well tolerated, although specific care may be required in the first few days.
All surgery carries certain risks, although they are minimal if performed with advanced technology and by specialists. Possible risks include infections, increased intraocular pressure or cataract formation, but these are rare. At our clinic, we advise you and monitor each phase to minimise any complications.
After surgery, we perform regular reviews to ensure that the retina heals correctly and your vision improves progressively. The follow-up is personalised, adapted to each patient and their evolution.
Visual improvement begins to be noticeable in the first few weeks, although full recovery may take between 1 and 3 months, depending on the type of pathology treated. In some cases, it is necessary to maintain a specific position after surgery.
The Dr. Ali Nowrouziwith more than 4,000 surgeries performed and international certifications (FEBO-CR, FWCRS), is a reference in retina surgery in Marbella and the Costa del Sol. Its experience and technology guarantee high quality treatment.
