Retina and Vitreous Services FAQ
The retina is a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye that senses light and sends visual information to the brain. The vitreous is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina. Both are crucial for maintaining clear vision and detecting light.
Common conditions include retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, vitreous hemorrhage, and macular holes. These conditions can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly.
Symptoms may include sudden flashes of light, floaters (small, dark shapes that float across your vision), blurred vision, distorted vision, or a shadow over your visual field. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek immediate medical attention
Treatments vary depending on the condition and may include laser surgery, vitrectomy (removal of the vitreous gel), intravitreal injections, or retinal detachment repair. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preserving vision.
Protecting your retina and vitreous involves managing systemic conditions like diabetes, avoiding smoking, wearing protective eyewear, and having regular eye exams. Early detection of issues through routine check-ups can prevent serious complications.
