What is the Retina?
The retina is a thin layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.It plays a crucial role in converting light into signals that the brain interprets as images.
The retina’s health is vital for maintaining clear vision and eye function.
Common Retinal Conditions:
- Diabetic Retinopathy: Caused by high blood sugar levels, affecting the retina's
blood vessels and leading to vision impairment.
- Macular Degeneration: A progressive condition that affects the macula,
causing loss of central vision.
- Retinal Detachment: Occurs when the retina pulls away from its normal position,
leading to potential vision loss.
- Retinal Vein Occlusion:Blockage in the retinal veins,
resulting in fluid accumulation and bleeding.
Symptoms of Retinal Issues:
-
Sudden vision changes, such as blurriness, dark spots, or flashes of light.
-
Distorted lines or difficulty seeing central objects.
-
Difficulty with night vision or sudden loss of vision.
Diagnosis & Treatment:
- Diagnosis: Using OCT, fundus photography, and fluorescein angiography to assess the retina’s health.
- Treatment: Laser treatment, retinal injections, and vitrectomy surgery for retinal detachment or severe macular degeneration.
