Dr. Kousik Chowdhury

Dr. Kousik Chowdhury is a Consultant in Retina Surgery and an Eye Specialist and Retina Surgeon. His listed qualifications include MBBS, FCPS in Eye, and a Fellowship in Vitreoretina from India. His specialty focuses on the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that helps people see clearly. Problems affecting this part of the eye can sometimes threaten vision if they are not assessed promptly.

Retinal conditions may develop alongside diabetes, age-related changes, eye injuries, or other eye diseases. Warning signs can include sudden flashes of light, new floaters, blurred vision, or a shadow that appears across part of the visual field. These symptoms should not be ignored, especially when they begin suddenly. A retinal examination can help identify the cause and determine whether treatment or surgery may be necessary.

Patients preparing for an eye consultation should bring previous eye examination reports, prescriptions, and records of any eye surgery or ongoing treatment. People with diabetes can also bring recent blood sugar results and information about their usual control. Explaining when vision changes began, whether one or both eyes are affected, and how symptoms have progressed can help the doctor assess the concern more clearly.

Dr. Kousik Chowdhury is listed as a Consultant in Retina Surgery at the National Institute of Ophthalmology & Hospital (NIOH), Dhaka. Patients seeking specialist care for retinal problems can discuss their symptoms and previous investigation results during a consultation. Sudden vision loss, a curtain-like shadow, or a sudden increase in flashes and floaters requires urgent eye assessment. Prompt evaluation can be important in protecting sight when a retinal problem is responsible.
