What is Retina?
The Retina is a light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that
plays a crucial role in vision by capturing images and sending them to the brain.
Any problem in the Retina can significantly affect vision, and in some cases, may
lead to permanent vision loss if not treated in time.
With increasing cases of diabetes, ageing, and lifestyle changes, Retinal diseases
are becoming more common. Early detection and timely treatment are essential to
preserve vision.
Retinal diseases often develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages,
making regular eye check-ups essential. Warning signs such as blurred vision,
floaters, flashes of light, or sudden vision loss should not be ignored. Early
diagnosis and advanced treatment options can help manage Retinal conditions
effectively and protect vision.
