It is the delicate light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina has special photoreceptor cells that detect light, and transmit signals to the brain. This process allows you to see.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The retina is prone to a number of eye conditions that may disrupt your vision. It is vital to know about these ailments because they can damage eye tissue, resulting in critical vision problems and even blindness.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some prominent eye conditions that affect the retina. Each of them may have unique causes, symptoms, and treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retinal_Detachment\"><\/span>Retinal Detachment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It happens when the retina gets separated from the back of the eye. There is no pain, although it is a serious condition that demands immediate medical intervention. Signs include blurred vision, diminished side vision, and darkness in the field of vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Macular_Degeneration\"><\/span>Macular Degeneration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/macular-degeneration-stages-signs-and-when-to-see-eye-doctor\/\">Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)<\/a> is a progressive condition affecting people in their old age. The macula, the middle part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision, starts deteriorating. The patient may see flashing lights or sparks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diabetic_Retinopathy_DR\"><\/span>Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This eye disorder is caused by high blood sugar levels, and diabetic patients are susceptible to it. The blood vessels in the retina get damaged, leading to loss of vision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retinal_Tears\"><\/span>Retinal Tears<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eye injury or other underlying conditions may result in small gaps or ruptures in the retina, causing retinal tears. It is an emergency situation because retinal tears may further lead to retina detachment. Myopic people are prone to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retinitis_Pigmentosa_RP\"><\/span>Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A group of inherited eye conditions that result in progressive damage to the light-sensitive cells of the retina. However, even people with no family history of the disease may fall prey to it. RP may lead to vision loss, generally starting with loss of night and side vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retinal_Vein_Occlusion_RVO\"><\/span>Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a retinal blood vessel gets blocked, it may cause fluid leakage, increased pressure in the eye, swelling, and subsequent loss of vision in the affected area. This is retinal vein occlusion, another disease affecting the retina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retinal_Diseases_Symptoms\"><\/span>Retinal Diseases Symptoms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The signs and symptoms of retinal diseases may vary depending on the particular condition. However, there are some common signs, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blurred vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dark spots, shadows, or floaters in the field of vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flashes of light<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diminishing vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty seeing in low light and at night<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peripheral vision gets affected<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poor colour vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distortion of vision<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any of the above-mentioned symptoms, it\u2019s critical to approach an eye specialist for a comprehensive eye checkup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diagnosing_Retinal_Diseases\"><\/span>Diagnosing Retinal Diseases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A comprehensive eye examination is generally required to diagnose retinal issues. This complete eye checkup may include different tests, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Test<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Visual acuity test<\/strong><\/td><td>Assesses your vision at different distances&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dilated eye exam<\/strong><\/td><td>Eye drops are used to dilate pupils and examine the retina and other parts at the back of the eye<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Optical coherence tomography (OCT)<\/strong><\/td><td>An imaging test to measure the thickness of the retina, and spot any anomalies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fluorescein angiography<\/strong><\/td><td>Coloured images of retinal blood vessels are taken by injecting a dye into the patient\u2019s arm that subsequently flows through the retina<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your eyecare provider uses these tests to find out the type and seriousness of your retinal condition so that they can plan the right treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Retinal_Diseases_Treatment_Options\"><\/span>Retinal Diseases Treatment Options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment is decided on the basis of the type of the retinal issue and its severity. Here are some treatment options that are commonly used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medications\"><\/span>Medications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some retinal conditions can be managed with oral medicines and topical eyedrops. Examples of such conditions include AMD and diabetic retinopathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Laser_Therapy\"><\/span>Laser Therapy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A laser is used to seal leaking blood vessels, repair retinal tears, or eliminate defective blood vessels in the retina. Laser therapy may be helpful in treating diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears or holes, retinal vein occlusion, and AMD (age-related macular degeneration).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitrectomy\"><\/span>Vitrectomy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a surgical procedure that removes the vitreous (gel-like substance) from the centre of the eye. It can effectively treat conditions like macular holes, retinal detachment, and diabetic retinopathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eye_Injections\"><\/span>Eye Injections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Intraocular injections are used to directly inject medications into the eye &#8211; to target particular retinal conditions, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion. Anti VEGF injections are the most frequently used <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/what-are-eye-injections-how-do-they-save-vision\/\">eye injections<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s vital to consult an eye doctor or retina specialist to decide the best treatment option for your retinal condition.
