The Vitereo retina is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye on the inside. It is located near the optic nerve.
The purpose of the retina is to receive light that the lens has focused, convert the light into neural signals, and send these signals on to the brain for visual recognition.
Diabetic Retinopathy is the “disease of the retina” caused by microangiopathy due to long term effects of diabetes leading to progressive damage of the retina & blindness. The most common cause of severe bilateral visual loss in the working age group.
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in people over age of 60 years. Cells in the macula degenerate (the central, and most sensitive part of the retina at the back of the eye), that is, they become damaged and die.
Damage to the macula affects your central vision which is needed for reading, writing, driving, recognizing people’s faces and doing other fine tasks.
There is NO TREATMENT for dry AMD, although high dose multivitamin combination has been shown to decrease the risk of visual loss.
There are a few treatment options for wet AMD although the best outcomes occur when this disease is detected early.
Retinal detachment is separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. The most common cause is a retinal break (a tear or, less commonly, a hole) (rhegmatogenous detachment).
When a retinal tear or hole hasn’t yet progressed to detachment, your eye surgeon may suggest one of the following procedures to prevent retinal detachment and preserve vision.
