Retinal disorders affect the thin layer of tissue at the back of your eye, impacting your ability to see clearly. These conditions can range from mild to severe and may require immediate attention to prevent vision loss.
Common Retinal Disorders
Diabetic Retinopathy: A condition that occurs in people with diabetes, affecting blood vessels in the retina.
Macular Degeneration: A leading cause of vision loss, affecting the central portion of the retina.
Retinal Detachment: A medical emergency where the retina is pulled away from its normal position, requiring immediate treatment.
Importance of Early Diagnosis
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing retinal disorders effectively. Regular eye check-ups can help in early detection, reducing the risk of severe vision loss.
