Retina

A leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50, AMD affects central vision and can make reading, driving, and recognizing faces difficult.

A complication of diabetes that damages retinal blood vessels and can lead to vision loss if not closely monitored and treated.

A tear or separation of the retina requires urgent evaluation and treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.

An epiretinal membrane is a thin layer of scar tissue that develops on the surface of the retina. These membranes, which often develop after a vitreous separation related to aging, are common and often do not cause any problems.

A retinal tear or retinal detachment occurs when the retina pulls away from the back of the eye, disrupting its ability to send visual signals to the brain. Symptoms may include sudden flashes of light, new floaters, blurred vision, or a shadow or curtain appearing in your field of vision. These conditions require immediate evaluation by a retinal specialist, as prompt treatment with laser therapy or retinal surgery can prevent permanent vision loss and preserve eyesight.

Macular edema is swelling of the macula — the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It commonly develops as a complication of diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, or inflammatory eye disease. Symptoms may include blurred or distorted central vision. Early diagnosis using advanced retinal imaging and treatment with targeted injections or laser therapy can help reduce swelling and protect long-term visual function.
