The retina is a layer of tissue present in the interior of your eye. Retina disorders are mainly due to lack of light-delicate cells and other nerve cells which transform the impulse into visual information. Retina sends this visual data to the cerebrum through your optic nerve and process the information into an image and empowering you to see. Different age group generations, races and ethnicities are effected from Retinal degenerative disorders, for instance, Age-related macular degeneration and myopic macular degeneration.

Pediatric ophthalmology is a sub-branch of ophthalmology associated with eye ailments, visual functions, and vision care in kids. The pediatric ophthalmologist gets further training to provide supervision to young patients. Neurologic improvement of vision happens up until around age 12 years. Misalignment of the eyes (strabismus), uncorrected refractive mistake (nearsightedness, hyperopia, and astigmatism), and asymmetry of refractive errors between the two eyes can contrarily influence this advancement. If these conditions not treated on time than it will affect the vision permanently. Pediatric ophthalmologists are eligible to perform ocular surgery along with the management of children’s eye diseases with glasses and pharmacological approach.

Translational Ophthalmology is a latest trend that bridges the gap by achieving breakthrough discoveries to patients faster than ever. Translational Research is a new initiative of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) which aims to translate basic research into more advanced form to yield the better results. The research trend discoveries maximize the opportunities to investigate the issues very minutely to decrease the risk of failure especially during surgical procedure like cataract and refractive surgery. Many fruitful facts have been discovered which indirectly helps in treating the respective conditions such as Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) proved that nutritional supplements (nutrition and ophthalmology) could minimize the risk of AMD. The American Health Assistance Foundation, dedicated to eradicating age-related degenerative diseases, estimates that up to 11 million people in the United States have some form of AMD - a number expected to double by 2050. Estimates of the global cost of visual impairment AMD causes are $343 billion, including $255 billion in direct health care costs, according to the foundation. Ophthalmology represents 18 percent of the average case volume in surgery centers, second behind GI/endoscopy (25 percent). The average surgery center performs 4,869 cases annually, which would average to around 876 ophthalmology cases annually, according to VMG Health's 2009 Intellimarker.

The cornea is the transparent exterior part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and foremost chamber. The cornea, with the front chamber and lens, refracts light, with the cornea representing around 66% of the eye's aggregate optical force. Corneal diseases, for example, corneal ulceration, epithelial keratitis and drug-induced epithelial keratitis, corneal degeneration, repetitive corneal disintegration and different corneal issue can influence the cornea and at last prompt the external eye disease that could wind up with perpetual visual impairment.

WHO reports that, 285 million people are estimated to be visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 have low vision. About 90% of the world’s visually impaired live in low-income settings 82% of people living with blindness are aged 50 and above. Globally, uncorrected refractive errors are the main cause of moderate and severe visual impairment; cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness in middle- and low-income countries. Many European associations are involved in Ophthalmology and many eye banks are actively promoting the donation of eyes in Europe, addressing a gap in the ophthalmic market, the global ophthalmic market was valued at $10.3 billion in 2010 and is estimated to reach $13.2 billion in 2017.
