Retinitis Pigmentosa is a diverse group of genetic eye disorders in which the retina degenerates slowly and progressively, eventually resulting in blindness and diminished peripheral vision.
The light-sensitive tissue at the back of our eyes is called ‘retina’. In some people, the tissues of the retina start to weaken or thin and retinal breaks begin to develop in areas of thinning. Thus, a retinal break is a tiny hole(without any traction or pressure points on the retina) or tear(which develops due…
Diabetic retinopathy is a serious eye condition that affects people with diabetes, both Type 1 and Type 2. It occurs when high blood sugar levels cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina, the part of your eye responsible for vision. This damage can lead to vision loss if left untreated. The condition is…
Retinal detachment is a serious event and needs immediate medical attention. It is a sight-threatening condition where the retina gets separated from its underlying supportive tissue.
An Epiretinal Membrane or ERM is a condition in which a clear, transparent and very thin layer of fibrous cellular material forms on the surface of the retina. The macula is affected in this condition and it causes blurred or distorted vision.
A macular hole is a small gap or break in the macula that can lead to blurring or distortion of central vision.
Retinal diseases can take many forms. They include Retinal detachment, Macular Degeneration, Macular Hole, Retinal Tear, etc. Here we shall discuss in-depth about one of the retinal diseases: Retinal tear.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It is one of the leading causes of vision impairment in older adults, and understanding its symptoms, causes, and available treatments is crucial for managing the condition effectively. As individuals age,…
Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of rare eye disorder. It is an inherited condition that involves the breakdown and loss of retinal cells.
A major cause of vision loss all over the world is retinal diseases. The conditions compromise the retina, which is the light-sensing tissue located at the back of the eye, and it is tasked with image acquisition and transmission of visual data to the brain. Damage to the retina may lead to partial or complete…
