Retinal and eye disorders

The retina is a layer of tissue at the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. At the center of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the crisp, central vision you need to read, drive and see the smallest details. Retinal disorders affect this vital tissue. They can affect your vision, and some can be serious enough to cause blindness. Macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, retinal detachment, retinoblastoma, macular pucker, macular hole and floaters are some of the examples.
