The retina is a crucial part of the eye that plays a vital role in vision. Our expert ophthalmologists are here to help you understand the importance of the retina and provide advanced care for retinal disorders.

What is the retina?

The retina is a thin layer of light-sensitive tissue located at the back of the eye. It functions like the film in a camera, capturing light and converting it into electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the brain via the optic nerve, where they are interpreted as visual images. The retina is essential for sharp, clear vision, and any damage to this delicate tissue can significantly impact vision.

Any damage to the retina may interrupt this process of visualization, leading to potential vision loss or blindness. Hence, due to its important role in vision, it is vital that it is checked regularly and kept healthy.

Common Retinal Issues:

At DRHC our Ophthalmology specialists are highly experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide range of retinal Problems. Common retinal conditions include:

• Retinal detachment: This serious condition occurs when the retina separates from the underlying tissue, cutting off its blood supply and leading to vision loss. Symptoms include a sudden appearance of floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow or curtain over part of the visual field. Immediate medical attention is crucial.
• Diabetic eye disease: Diabetic high blood sugar can damage blood vessels in the retina, risking vision loss
• Age-Related macular degeneration: The center of the retina deteriorates causing blurred central vision
• Floaters: specs or cobweb shapes floating in your vision due to fibers casting a shadow over the retina
• Macular hole: A small break in the macula that can cause blurred or distorted central vision. It is often related to aging and requires surgical intervention to repair.
